70 no demands upon The peO-
pie but Cor objects absolutely and indis-
penssbly necessary. Unless . due ne
gard should be manifested 70 public eco
nomy, Mr. c. would never VOC % lay .
cent or taxes on the people.
Mr.. PRESTON rose 70 state The Prin-
eiple on which he should vote Cor 5000
copies in preference 10 10000. Hereto
fore il hsd been The practice % marx the
sense of fhe Senaie's appreciation Of !
state paper BY he number Of copies Of il
they ordered 70 be printed This had
been the practice on both sides Of the
house. Mr.. p. was not willing 70 act on
any such ground; and, whatever might
be his opinion Of the present document,
he wished 70 disconnect himself from any
such principle a that he had referred 70.
He should vote al this time, and a all
times, Tor such number only a. he deem
ed 70 be necessary for due circulation.
A Presidents message was ordinarily Of
such q length that IL could be introduced
entire into the public papers; and hence
here was the less necessity for large
number Of extra copies. But when do
cument was 50 large as 70 render this inn
practicable, then there might be propri-
ETY. in printing and circulating il under
franks. Mr.. r. expressed bis saiisfac-
ton with the course Of his friend from
North Carolina (Mr. Mangum;) he had
moved for ten thousand copies as an en-
preston OF his appreciation Of the mes
sage, but had reduced the number 10 Eve
thousand as an homage 70 the obligation
Of economy. He took this early occasion
Of pledging himself 70 60 on in carrying
out 50 good a principle.
Mr.. BUCHANAN said he was ever
ready 20 unite with gentlemen Of any po-
liticaI side Of the house in all efforts foI
economy. He was glad 10 hear the Sc
naior from Kentucky start out with the
avowal Of such determination a he had
now expressed. However Mr.. b. nigh
differ from that honorable gentleman in
other matters, he would always stand by
his side in all plans 10 promote reason
able, not niggardly economy.
The resolution Of Mr.. Mangum, a. mo
difed, was agreed TO.
Mr.. CLAY then observed, that he hop
ed that while gentlemen were cherishinl
purposes Of economy rs 70 the expendi
lure Of money, they would not neglect q
economist time also. With this view h
gave notice that he should, tomorrow
move that the Senate proceed 10 the ap
pointment Of the standing committees
and also 10 the appointment of selec
committee, 10 whom should be referre'
SO much Of the Presidents message a
related 10 the financial concerns and III
currency Of the country, and the appoint
meni Of fiscal agent for the pecuniar
purposes Of the government.
i Several gentlemen here informally
Inquired Of MIR. G.. what sort of fisc'
agent he referred TO!
Mr.. Clay said that, for himself, he ha
mo hesitation 70 avow that he meant
United States Bank; but other gentleme
might prefer some other form.
