for the application Of the proceeds of the public

its reference to a select committee, but to one OF
the whole Senate.
Mr. Mangum replied at some length to the re.
marks OF Linn in favor OF the repeal, and conten,
ded that there were no good reason that could be
assigned for such q course. He for one did not
apprehend so much danger from relations with
England as to believe that the proceeds were so
much needed for the defence of the Country as he
alleged.
The question of reference was debated at great
length by Messrs. Linn, Calhoun Buchauan
King, Rives, Allen and several others. The de-
fc, to the treasury Of fourteen millions was the
great bugbeur of the Loco Focos in their arguments
in favor OF the repeal This, however, was shown

He insisted that ofthis, seven millions was owing

They are not all afraid that Great Britain will
monopoIize the mechanical and manu- featuring op

derfIIy scared at the idea of our mechanics and
the laborors in factories getting better wag
es than tho poor aborers of Europe, and that the

should be enabled to obtain good prices for the
plus products of his farm.
The numerous manufactures of our country, and
