| Mr. McROBERTS moved 10 strike out tea and cof-
fee from dutable articles. 1t the land fund were re-
stored TO the Treasury it would yield three millions
and that would be sufficient to meet the duties on tea
coffee, and salt He therefore moved, in page sec
ton first to among the free articles tea and coffee
/ Mr.. BENTON called for division Of the subject
He wished first 10 be taken upon striking out tea, ano
for an obvious reason. Coffee came from country
which was in the habit Of taking much OF our agricu
;Ir' KING was in favor Of including those articles
among free articles, the land fund restored Il
t!e Treasury.
ilr. ALLEN said he aware that the amendment
We, he had no hope that it would be adopted-non
/ whatever Let the character Of the bill be what 4
might however nonstrous, II was ordained mat II shouie

10 mark the circumstance which had gwen rise TO The
/ bill, and which went 10 establish principle more
daring than any which were embodied in it, lie woult
not sc.be 10 The bill the origin Of the practice BY wheel
il was passed That practice originated with anothe
bill which came here from the House, and was passed
without consideration, and agalns, the Judgment OF The
Senate. He referred to the Apporiionment bill, whcl
came 10 the Senate with its secund section inserted by
a carefully drilled party vote. In this body, ii was re
ierE,d 10 one Of the standing comntiees-a committee
selected for wisdom and lis knowledge oil matters
apper,ainipg to the judiciury-a committee composed
OF alory Of the triump plant party IN the SENATE
and the House and constituted Tor the express purpose
of Representing the will Of that majority. After ful
consideration that committee, acting upon their oaths
reported back the bill with amendments. What dit
the Senate do : 1t refused 10 vote The amendments
Other amendments were proposed but they tell as VIII
tie fatality Of an omnscent decree.
Mt OF that party forming the majority IN the two
Houses of Congress voted for these amendments; ons
wh,a Was II that they were necessary or proper -
Was il that it would lie unwIse 10 amend Tie bIll?-
No, Sir; but avowed by the Senator from LouIs'an;
If you amend SIM e section Of the bill, it woul'

Mr. Allen Is the character Of the ball which it is now
permitted the Senate to amend? 1t is bill imposing
a tax OF $50 Un,000 the people of the country;
bill subject sacred to be required 10 originate
