Mr.. Morshsad has the floor for &c, morrow
HousE.-After the morning proceedings today,
the House OF Representatives resumed the con-
sheraton of the unfin sned business OF Yesterday
relative TO the resolution and report from the
Committee OF Ways and Means on The Exche-

Mr.. Fillmore moved that the usual number OF

3D. and then he would consent tina. The furihe.
confederation OF The resolution should be pospon.
ed till Monday week. The printing ordered,
and the House, without a division, agreed 10 the
resolution being postponed.
The Speaker then announced that the regular
order OF business 10 take up the bill pro-
'idfng for the repeal Of the Bankrupt act.
Mr.. John McKeon, of New York, rose to per.
form his announced purpose, of reading President
Tyler out ct tbs party; III other words, 10 show
that neither he nor his Admnis,ra, lion were en,i-
lied to the confidence and supper, OF the Demoe-
racy.
MIR Gushing here started up, and asked leave
&c explain
Mr.. McKeon said he could hardly afford time
from his hour for explanation.
Mr.. Gushing. "Then | insist. as a matter Of
right, upon having my remarks stated correctly.
will not submit either TO the genteman's con-
structtons or observation-disclosures"
Mr. Mckeon produced the report OF Mr.. Cush.
iRgs speech, and read the passage in which Mr..
c. told The Wing party ,ha, If they would refuse
TO cooperate with The President IN carrying
the Government, HE WOULD SEEK THE
THEIR ADvERsARIEs. Now he wished to know
whether the House thought lie had misconsrued
the centlemanf What this seeking the aid
Of the advoIsaries of tho Wings, but to make Of,
fers and oVertures for their assstancei
Mr.. Gushing again started up, and asked leave
to explain.
Mr. Mckeon pointed TO The clock. and hoped
that the gentleman would wait until he had finch.
ed his hour. He then proceeded to q review Of
Mr. Tyler's recommendations and acts, since he
has flied the Executive chair, commenting with
considerable spirit each, and con,endng that
every one, excepting The ve,oes alone, proved that
he Democrat. He dwell, particularly on
his approval OF the repeal Of the Sub-Freasury
Bill and his recommendations of the Exchequer,
to substantiate this charge. The composition Of
his Cabinet also demonstrated that he was no
Democrat. Mr.. Mckeon here alluded to Mr..
Webster rs the great advocate and exponent OF
Federal principles, aud expressed his belief that
that gentleman would never abandon those prin.
ciples. Indeed he had lately announced that he
quoted from has speech a, Faneuil Hall to chow
ihat he proclaimed himself q Wing; and then iu-
duiged IN some comments upon his past conduct,
especially during the late war. and his declara-
ton IN the Senate tina, be would not vote 10 ap-
proprIate the three millions OF dollars asked by
Gen. Jackson during our difficulties with France,
although the enemy were battering down tho
walls of the Capitol Mr.. McKeon reminded tho
uouse OF the severe comment Of Mr.. Adams up.
on tha, unpa,riotic sentiment and the genera! in

dent Tyler. while surrounded by such men, and
while making such recommendations, and doing
such acts a. bad marked the past history Of his
Administration, could not reasonably hope for tho
counienancs and support of the Democracy.
He proceeded to anmaoyert with some sever
iiy, upon the declaration Of Mr.. Gushing, that the
power and patronage Of the Government would
be used for bringing support 10 the Executive; and
was going on IN general course Of reply, to
Messrs. Gushing and WISE when tho hour ha-
wing expired; the Speakers hammer fell, and
Mr.. Rayner. of North Carolins, obtained tho
floor. He spoke at great length, on the question
before the House, explaining very fully his ssa-
sons for supporting the repeal. But towards the
close he adversed to the conduct Of the President
and the offers of his spokesman (Mr Cushng,)
in a strain of indignant eioquence, which produ.
ced the greatest impression the House. The
language Of Mr.. Gushing, he said, WAS but "a
echo of that of the Secretary Of State, at Fauueil
Hall. Mr.. Rayner went on TO speak 10 q high
and imprisoned tone Of the detection Of Mr..
Webster; repellng the idea, however, that ho
had been treated with every thing but fosbea1-
ance and leni,y by those whom he had deserted.
Mr.. Marshall obtained the floor, and then the
House adjourned.
During The morning hour, there was nothing Of
particular interest, except q rather sharp discus
sion the joint resolution from the Senate, pro.
posing that all private claims upon which adverse
reports have been made by committees, with the
concurrence Of both Houses shall be withdrawn.
and not considered again unless upon the intro
duction of new evidence.
After a debate, in which Mr.. Irving, Mr.. Rey-
noIds, Mr. Hopkins and others participated, the
resolution was rejected. So the system ~ regard
10 the presentation and consideration Of private
ella ms which has her tofore been followed. vill
