Horsr ny REPRESENTATIVES. Tucker
and BELsER took their seats Tor the hfst time TO-
day. A resolution passed the House TINS morn
ing, that the debate on the Sun. reasury shouio
cease, in Committee Of the Whole, Two hours
after it shall be taken up. The House then went
into Committee of the Whole, Mr. CAVE JOHN
son in the Chair, and discussed the SUD- Treas
ury bill
abs nee of Mr.. YArcEY of Alabama who had ~
A DOR, pul was lrdisposed, proceeded, 10 an able
speech OF fcrty minutes, 10 review the course OF
the Loco. Foco party during the late campaign
During his speech lie was particularly severe on
the double dealing of the Loco-Fcco party, in
dropping Van Buren,, who was identified with
the Sub. Treasury, ard taking W Polk, and car
rying him by the vote of New York, which was
secured bv the influence of a Governor who voted
against the Texas Treaty, and of Mr. Birney,
who was opposed to Slavery. Yet the victory
is claimed as a verdict iii favor of Annexation
MIR. PAIYg, of Alabama, denied Inc support Of
James G. Birney, and Nj. McCLsLLAND of Mich
igan, said that James g. Birncy had not received
a Democratic nomination in saginaw
Mr. BAILY oG Virginia, took the floor and made
a speech After he had spoken ne yielded the
floor TO MIR. HENLEY of Indiana MIR. CLING
MAN, of North Carolina, who, 1t appeared, rose
and addressed the Chair first claimed the floor,
but Mr. CLINGMAN's eloquent voice was not TO be
heard, and the floor was given TO MIR: HFALar.
Mr. HENLEY, OF Indiana, proceeded to reply to
Mr.. Hunt, charging him with inconsistency be-
cause he is not Loco Foco now rs he was in
1886 Mr. HENLEY seems to forget that the
Sub Treasury and Texas have been adopted as
Loco Foco principles since 1886. MIR. HARDIN
of Illinois, had little pass with Mr.. HENLEY,
which the latter parted off by piece Of ridicule
about MIR. HARDIN knowing too much of the
Wings.
Mr.. HENLEY then went into long speech on
Mr.. Polk, Mr.. Clay, and every other subject but
the one before the Committee. After having
wasted over hall an hour in this way, he ended
by long homily OH saving time and doing the
business of the country. Could Mr. HENLEY
tell how soon the business ofthe country would be
done if each member of the House occupied as
much time in doing az little us the gentlemen has
done.
Mr.. DLLNGHAM, of Vermont, spoke in favor
of the bill, and in answer to the arguments OF
the gentlemen of the other party. He made no
ausion to the verdict Of the people at the late
Election.
Mr. CARY, of Maine, after speaking about FIVE
minutes, in Committee of the Whole, Cary-ed
over the debate and replied to arguments which
had been made in the Conl.,ttee of the Whoe.
After the COMMITTEE rose, he quoted from the
Book of Joe. The four winds of Heaven had
come, and had blown Gown the Democracy in
1910; but the Democracy, Ike Job, were then in
the hands of the Devil, (the Old Hunkers. Many
are still disposed to coubt whether they have got
out Of said hands YETI He tn en- referred to his
notes. After long pause, and cries Of " Go on"
. go on ~ from all parts of the House, he took
his seat under 4 call for the previous question.
The amendments made in Committee were
then reported and accepted.
Mr.. ADAMS moved to strike out the first Sec
ton. Ruled out of order.

ment Of the bll-lor third reading. Yeas l25;
