"they hav'nt got even one live cOon.'') My friend
Gushing did not begin this debate; but even if he
did, do you acknowledge that he has the power
whenever he chooses to lead this House off into
debate OF or weeks upon all sorts of topics, and
that ysu are unable to prevent il! Here you are
with 30 or 40 majority, and yet you say you can't
the guard and Capt. Tyler and everything put the
subject before you. Why there are few in this House
who have not made up their minds on this matter
you can't change single vote by all this talking
Then why continue it! Think of the numerous Inn
portant subjects that are before the House. The
Navy Appropriation bill, the Army, the Treaty. the
ExcheqGer the Oregon territory, and many osnets;
vote this. Return to the true interests OF the
people, for know that you are disposed to DO some
thing for the country, IT you won't tor the Admins
tration Oaughier;) great deal has been said about
the fact in the Constitution If you think it is not
fact Just butt your head ur against it and try it,
But don't be fighting shadows. When ! acted with
the Wing party we didn't fight shadows; and can
only attribute their departure from the good old
rule to my having left them. (Great Taught cry
How, as to those in and around the Administration,
having something to say at the next election. Pm
not connected with this Administration, though act
ing with & and do you think you can keep my
tongue still? (Shouts of laughter, and cries of "no,
indeed, Profft.') And do you think that Daniel
Webster, and John g. Spencer, and the gentleman
from Virginia, GWise,) and the gentleman from
Massachusetts (Cushng,) and myself, (great laugh
ter0 will have nothing TO say that election p
The gentleman from South Carolina said we come
down on him full tilt don't he know that he came
down on us with the previous question and made us
as mad as hornets!
PICKENs.-I did not
PRoFFIT.-No, bt his friend from New York did,
(VanderpoeD when he said he had seen this debate
worn out-he had seen the stone of Sisyphus rolled
and rolled-and the gentleman from Virginia,
(Drumgod) said, :" oh pass your Sub Treasury, but
don't murder the classics. (Shouts of laughter)
mocrac Review about the Sub Treasury, showing
that many locofocos opposed it. He asked the
Democratic party how they ever expected to get into
Ihsy would oon say hy ALREADY in
if you don't get Executive power. (Peals OF laugh
ter) There are my friends the wings on the other
side Of the House,; xthey've had Congressional
power for two years; and they've got so thin on it,
that can take an observation of the sun through
'em lScreams and laughter from the locofocos)
Mr. PROFIT concluded by saying that the admit
nlstraon pursued the only true course, that is the
advancement of the best interests of the whole
people In a few. years all this excitement, and
speeches would be forgotten, aud people would look
only to the record And it would be found that
this administration will not only settle every great
question affecting this country, but retire with
honor, and general appreciation. The Treaty, the
Oregon question, The Mexican question, and all
others now unsettled He therefore begged of mem.
bers to leave OFT all this shutting lnsncere mode of
legislation, and attend to the important business be-
fore them.
Mr.. GORDON, ofN. Y, got the floor, and the House
adjourned.
The Exchequer will come up in week in the
Senate, and there will be great fight on it.
MIR. Webster gave grand dinner to-day te the
Postmasters- Genera, Graham and Gordon, Sena-
tiers Tamadge and Choate Capt Wilkes. &c.
MIR. Roosevelt gave grand dinner party yester.
day, at which the President and many members of
Congress were present. VIVA.
