HOUSE OF REPREsENTATIvEs.


Mr. FILLMORE moved that the House resolve
itself into Committee OF the Whole on the state Of
the Union, upon the subject OF the General APP
preparation. Mr. THOMPSON, of la. took the
chair and the debate proceeded IN order, beginning
with the items in relation to lighthouses, which
Mr. Profit, Of la. spoke at length in exposition Of
the enormous abuses (which had grown out Of this
system.
Mr. PROFIT, who commenced his speech on
Saturday, closed after speaking nearly two hours
to-day. His remarks were interesting and embo-
died mass Of valuable information ne TO the gross
Encouragement and abuse Of the system. Having
closed, he Withdrew his amendment.
The debate, however, was continued upon the
amend mc through The day; II having been re-.

There much opposition to the items Of the bill
md some to the system itself.
The debate had gone on upon matters, many OF
them relevant and irrelevant, when Mr. FILL
MORE second time made earnest appeal 10
the members 10 take a vote upon the proposition.
This subject Of Lgh, Houses had been whole day
under consideration and no member had manifested
IN pracoa shape any thing like a successful ol,-
position TO the items reported. And yet the de 20
bate went on and by the day. lie hoped al least
that the friends Of the system would no, consume
more time in debating IL.

bride them with their own money"-as tho il were
possible to bride a community any more than an
individual, by paying them what was their due.
This is a new species Of bribery. -The Banks were
formerly charged with bribing people by loaning
them money-They would not consider it an insult,
atemp, to bride, ifthe money were restored to
theml
But we will not quarrel about words-The issue,

And il it is the property OF the S,a,es-as is con-
coded on oil hands-even by those who say it is an
effort "to bride the people with their o,on money,
