ior--but mono Of importance presented Till
tho Speaker came to the Committee Of Ways and
Means-.when Mr. Fillmore rose and said he was
instructed by that Committee to present tho follow
ing resolution.
"Resolved That ii is expedient to pass another
revenue bill the same that which recently pass
ed both Houses of Congress, and has been return
cd by the President with his objections 10 the
House, and on reconsideration lost Tor want Of
a constitutional majority, entitled AN act TO pro-
vide revenue from imports,nnd TO change and modi
fy existing laws imposing duties on imports, and
for other purposes, with the exception Of Tho 9Th
section of said bill which repeats the proviso oil
the land distribution act, and modified as to
mako tea imported in American vessels beyond the
Cape Of Good Hope, and coffee free from duty; o.
that the Committee of Ways and Means be, and
they hereby instructed TO report such n bill 10
the House, with all convenient despatch.
The resolution having been read
Mr.. F. said that it was only necessary for him
to state that he had reported his resolution for the
considera ton of the House under the order Of the
Committee Of Ways and Means, for the purpose of
testing the sense of the House whether any ecton
was necessary or could be had with any prospect
Of passing revenue bill at this time II
too late hour in the session to admit of the pos
sibility Of commencing a revenue bill dc n00o, and
perfecting it in its details If any thing could be
done 1T must be done by some bill that had already
been elaborated and perfected and it was for that
reason that the resolution limited the action of the
House TO the bill already passed, with certain ex'
ceptions calculated to me ct objections TO tho bill
in some quarters. What the sense Of the House
might b., no knew not. The COMMITTEES OF Ways ~
Means did not feel authorised to introduce new
bill, without first testing tho Of the Hou Sc
whether there my possibility or probability of
passing it.
He had nothing further to say, and would move
the previous question.
A motion was then made 10 lay the resolution
on the table. Lost, ayes rs, nays 1903.
MIR. Fillmore then moved call OF the House,
which motion prevailing, the Clerk called the roll,
and IS9 members answered to their names. The
absentees were called, and 300 were found 10 be
present. On motion of Mr. Fillmore, the call was
then suspe nded. After several questions OF order
had been raised aud overruied, motions TO divide
the resolution submitted and defeated, and good
deal of funering had been observed in the camp
Of the Locofocos, who desired To evade the issue,
the motion for The previous question having been
sustained, the ayes and were at length orders
ed on the passage of the resolution, and the vote
stood follows
