 The resolution of Mir. Adams to rescind the 2lst rule, excluding abolition petitions, coming up, Mir. Wm. Cost Johnson moved to lay it on the tabe--which was carried Yeas 106, Nays 1O2-and thus this exciting subject is for the present disposed of, unless perchance, it be called up tomorrow by a motion of reconsideration.
 Alter an attempt on the part of Mir. Pick ems, to get the message referred to the com nittee of the whole, Mir. Fillmore offered a resolution referring to the Committee of Ways and Means that part of the message relating to the Treasury and financial con cerns of government, including the Exche- quer plan.
 Mir. Gushing moved substitute resolution to refer that portion relating 10 the Exche- quer, to the Committee of the Whole on the Union, and that relating to the present con. dition ot the Treasury and to the Tariff, to l the Committee of Ways and Means. The bill he had had the honor of reporting from the select committee on this subject at the last session, he said was now before the Commit tee of the Whole, and the message should be referred to the same committee, to afford an for speedy action.
 MT. Fillmore said he regretted that the sub. feet had not been considered at the last ses- sion. He was willing it should be taken up as soon as the gentleman desired, and the re- ference of this portion of the Message to the Committee of Ways and Means, would not pl event action at any time, us the Committee of the Whole had the whole measure before them.
 Mr. Everett was desirous of giving the plan of the Executive fair chance. IL was com- mitted to a committee of it's friends at the last session, and they killed it.
 He wanted direct vote to be taken on the Presidents project, and therefore moved an amendment to Mir. Fillmore's resolution, to instruct the Committee of Ways aKd Means to report the identical bill of the Secretary of the Treasury and recommended by the President, with their opinion whether it should pass.
 Mir. Cushing, in reply to an inquiry of Mir. c. J. Ingersoll, briefly explained the differ ences between the plan of the President and that reported by the Select Committee of last session. The former authorized the issue of paper in the proportion of three to one, on the specie of the Exchequer to limited de. gree, while the latter authorised issues of paper dollar for dollar with the specie. and prohibited dealing in exchanges. There 1 were other differences but they were imma- terial.
 Mr. Everett on being solicited withdrew his amendment. Mir. Cushing's amendment to refer the portion of the message relative to the EXche- quer to the Committee ot the Whole on the Union (un1er the consideration of which al this time is the Exchcquer bill reported by him at tho last session,) failed: Yeas 100, Nays l05. MT. Fillmore's resolution to refer the sub- ject to the Committees of Ways and Means was then adopted.
 Mr. Fillmore moved to refer that portion relating to Gen. Jackson's fine to the Con- mittee on the Judiciary. Mr. Wm. w. It. win moved its reference to select commit tee, but subsequently substituted for 1t the
