Mr.. DAsSEr moved 10 suspend the rule, so that

derStood that there were some gentlemen who had
that they should have opportunity oalIering their
vote.

MIR. TUSsrALL would explain the reason why
he voted for the amendment. The stockholders had
acted, and elected him. and he was willing 10 give
some respect to large and intelligent a body, and
| he was also anxious to set brigh; example with
that party whose favore doctrine and practice had
been prescription. He trusted that after this they
should never hear any more OF bank bought Wings;
| and if any democrat should enquire of him which
was The bank bought party, he would send him to
DR.. John Brockenbroush for answer. Hethousht
| that some OF those who had been perpelually cry
ing out about banks, would cut rather curious
figure when they went home to their constituents
After a few saIirica hits at the democratic par
ty, which excited loud laughter in the hall, the gem
tIeman took his seat.
The question now came up on agreeing TO the re-
port with the amendment which had Just been car
ried, and upon this the ayes and noes were again
taken. To the astOnishment Of every one the
report as amended was lost, the vote standing ca
and Ga; Messrs. WILEY of Amelia, and CosS OF
Shenandoah, having changed sides since the last
vote.
On motion Of Mr.. BAILT the house adjourned;
MIR CRoPPER having, however, first given notice
that he should, tomorrow, move n resolution in
structng their Senators in Congress to vote for re.
peang the Expunging Resolutions.
