its second reading. Mr. Defrees moved to amend

trate by whom the sentence pronounced, be
thereby implied.'
Mr. Harris moved to strike out "uprght."
Mr., Parker moved that The whole matter be IN
definitely ipOncd
Mr. West cverated, God was his Judge
tha, party politics had nothing to DO with the
introduction of the resolution by him yesterday
But now, when death is knocking AT his door
with his locks svered by time, he deemed II but
an act of Justice TO that old warrior, TO refund
HIM that tine-to pluck from the hero's bosom the
arrow that now rankles there, planted by judge
who fined him uniustiy.
Mr. Reads views were similar to Mr.. Vests
He would not speak of General Jackson as CT
william, for there were members here who would
disagree with him upon that point; but as mill
tarv man. who IN this hail would dare cast sim

one laurel from his aged brow. Mr.. Read passed
a high and eloquent elogum upon the character
aud reputation of the Hero of New Orleans.

Mr.. Collins also replied to Mr.. West (who had
declared that The records OF last session would
show that he was not a par'lzan) by pointing TO
Mr. WIS votes and speeches last winter, which he

Take from the resolution that part which censures
a Judge for doing his sworn duty, and he would
vote TO refund the fine TO him, for whose military
fame none had higher respect than himself
But when the wings in Congress thus offered 10
refund, the Locofoco party Indignantly refused to
accept It,
Mr.. Ewing declared this matter entirely irrel-
evant to our duties. Why Is this subject now
