forty Executive nomina,ion-some Of which rwI
laid before them during the second monthOi thl

Of the Senate, and as many of the House. gttl
had not been acted upon, some Of them hesiy Il

army and the navy. Therefore, it apporea u
to him that they should not be true to therneysI
if, under this state of things, they did not ,lT
themselve few more days of intense Lhor b

ed. By the Constitution, the House of RcEt
sentetivcs alone could bring forward bills for

at least nine-tenths Of the members of Congal
Theyiowed it, then, to themselves, TO their sdi
ing country, and TO every feeling Of pa'riOtai
not TO adjourn while there was the least hpri

wants of crippled and embarrassed IeasaE
He proposed to amend the resolution by elteat
the adjournment to Monday, the 29th nstiut.
MIR. TALLMADGE concurred in these view,
Mr.. Preston, and urged the necessity Of aieFaa
some Revenue measure at the present session

existing state of things was not remediea, ut
than FIVE millions would be drawn from lhe Ist
sury in less than year in the shape Of debeHaff
and the gentleman had also informed him taI
could re.export d lot of iron, paying SCI 900 III
under the present regulation, and re-inptfthEa
profit OF eight or ten thousand dollars. Tha II
country would. in addition to this drain kona
Treasury, be filled with iron and every tlite'
from abroad and the market overstecked fahri
or five years. to The incurablc injury of dcnst3
labor. He would, therefore, oppose any rTa
ton to adjourn SO long as there was The ras n
mote prospect of passing a revenue law.

such measure or not, for his own part heSiI
go before the country and vindicate the coRSGSH
