HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Friday. June q.
MIR. Adams, BY unanimous consent,
from the select committee appointed on
the subject Of the removal Of ihe remains
ofthe late President Of ahe URited STATES,
reported the following resolutions:
.ResofPsd. That on Saturday next the
remains Of William Henry Harrison, late
Presidency If the United States, be remoy-
ed, under the superintendent Of com
mitiee Of both Houses Of Congress, from
the Congressional Burial Ground, and
accompanied by snch committee and the
delegation from Ohio TO the line Of the
District Of Columbia.
ResofUed. That when the two Houses
adjourn, they adjourn 10 Monday next.
The resolutions were unanimously a.
dopled, and were sent to the Senate for
concurrence.
The House resumed the consideration
Of the resolution offered BY Mr.. Floyd,
modified as follows:
Resofpsd, That the President Of the
United States be requested 10 inform this
House whether any officer Of the Army
or the Attorney General OF the United
States has, since The 4th Of March last,
been directed 10 visit the State Of New
York for any purpose connected with the
Imprisonment or trial Of Alexander Melee
cd; and whether, BY any Executive mea-
sures or correspondence, the British Co
vernment has been given 10 understand
that Mr.. Mcleod viii be released or sur
rendered; and, if so, TO communicate to
this House copies Of the instructions to,
and report Of, such officer.
Mr.. Gushing having concluded his.re-
marks, was followed by Mr.. Wise. In
the course OF his remarks Mr.. Wise said:
But, in the second place, the adyo-
cate of this resolution Mr.. IngersolD has
put il out Of my power, were so dispos-
ed, 10 vote for il. He has accompanied
its Introduction with such course Of 70.
marks that It's adoption could not be con-
sidered n any thing short Of an implied
censure upon the present Secretary Of
State FOR the positions which he has as
sumed in relation to this affair. Seeing
nothing TO censure and every thing 10 APP
prove in the conduct and correspondence
Of both the present and last Secretaries
touching this whole case, shall avoid the
least implication Of the censure which
consider involved in an affirmative vote on
this proposition. Mr.. Forsyth has been
attacked by nobody, and therefore needs
no defence. Whathas Mr.. Webster done
in this matter, since the honor and inte-
rest Of the nation have been confided to
his care, to draw down upon him, direct
ly or indirectly, The censure of this House!
Why, sir, on the 18th day Of March,
1871, Mr.. Fox, !" in the name Of the Brit
ish Government" demanded {" the I'M
mediate release Of Mr.. Alexander Me-
Leod."
Now what should have been the course
Of Mr.. Webster, in the name Of the Unit
cd States! The rule to govern him, it
strikes me, was to place his Government
in the attitude and assuming the bearing
of undetermined, generous, gallant man,
conscious of his own dignity, weight of
character, and power Of self-redress, when
approached by another man in any doubt
FIJI or ambiguous shape Of peace or hosti-
lily. The only exception to this rule
should be that nation may be more slow
to anger and resentment, more pacific in
its temper, more conciliating and forbear-
ing in its conduct and correspondence,
than an individual in personal quarrel.
Mr.. Fox's demand was doubtful and am
biguous. Its meaning was either arro-
CANT and overbearing, intending 10 de-
mand something which neither the laws
Of nations nor our own peculiar state and
federal relations could allow; or it was
urgent only in demanding what was due
