House OF Representatives. aaf
Tomorrow being the day fixed for the tsrmna-
uon ct the debate the exte nsion of the Loan Bill
the House sat until near nine o'clock, p M, to give
an opportunity to many who were DESTROYS TO ad-
dress the Committee to do So The speakers were
Mr.. Colqu', MIR. Shields, Mr. McKeon, Mr.. w.
smith. and Mr. Cushing, by whom the Loan Bill
was scarcely matter Of consideration. Each gen.
tleman entered into the party discussion, which has
continued since Thursday week, in reply TO pre-
ceding speakers, and in defence of parties or indi
viduals. The debate had neither novelty nor
interest," for its long continuance has rendered it
sealing; and il was therefore matter Of some as
tonishment that an attempt should be made to con-
tnue the debate through the whole day to morrow,
instead of terminating it at two o'clock. This at
tempt was made for the qualification Of certain
gentlemen who are not satisfied that Of profi,less
| talk there has been more than enough; each is de.
srous TO have Grafton to send to his constituents
for the qualification of an inordinas vanity. and the
utter exhaustion CT the subject before the House by
preceding speakers, has no influence to deter from
the machineike operation Of retailing very, very
common places. 1gl.avst
During the day Mr.. ADAMS succeeded in causing
the adoption of plan for the disposal of petitions
which may save many valuable hours during The
Session. He proposed, and the House agreed to
the proposition, that each member should hand his
petitions to the Speaker, without waiting to be call
ed In the ordinary way, and that the Speaker
should determine which should be received and
which rejected. Mr.. Adams said he had $50 to pre-
sent, and by this arrangement they can be handed
10 the Speaker without ubstructing other business,
and they can be referred to appropriate committees
IN the same quiet way.
Mr. FILLMORE succeeded in causing the adoption
OF resolution, calling upon the Secretary OF the
treasury to communicate to the House any
to digest and prepare plans for the improve
meat and management OF the revenue and for the
support OF the public cred for raising the ne cessa-
ry amount Of revenue for defraying the expenses Of
the government by an increase OF duties on impor-
tauons, or by auction duties goods imported; al
home valuation, cash duties, warehousing system
or any other matters incidentally connected with
those SUBJECTS and particularly any information
which his department can afford TO the particular
articles imported; which will bear an increase of
duty, and the amount of such increase. In his an.
nual communication to Congress, made in Deem
Der last the Secretary of the Treasury stated that
the accrung revenue was insufficient to meet the
wants OF the Treasury and he suggested increase
OF duty son articles carefully selected" On the
10Th of February, the Chairman of the Committee
OF Ways and Means, by direction of the committee,
made written application to him for his plan for
raising the necessary revenue his report suggest
ed, and the other matters which the resolution now
not thought proper to reply to the oommittees Off.
cal communication, and the authority of the
House has been invoked TO accomplish that in
which the committee failed. tt.ra
