after the close Of my letter of Saturday by e;f
los. NAYS - the Illinois River having beer
stricken out by Yeas u.s. Nays 79) was refused
to be rcconsdered Yeas 80; Nays Ill. Thus
the bill has finally passed the House.
Mr.. BARNARD now moved to take up the Efs-
tern bill in the manner by suspension oirulcN
retnsed-Ycas l05, Nays SS-not decisive dis
position of the bill, but quite ominous that the
Western L-cos having passed their own bill at
least care but little for the other internal improve
ment bill.
Mr. CLNcIr, on leave, introduced bill for the
settlement of the claims of the Georgia militia Of
lS4l and 40.

terest-by Yeas l04, Nays 94-sevcra of the

these repeated efforts succeeded IN barely getting
no the bill; with reference to which beng idr
from decided az to the course to pursue, Their en-
barrassment and confusion are enhanced by this

IyGERsoIL moved to amend the first section by
postponing the time for the taking effect of the
bill from the lst September Gas designated TO Isl
January next This gave rise to spirited debate
Mr. |. said if the bill ever became law it would
not be until some time in June or July; hence this
law of so much interest TO manufactures anC
commerce for the sake of allowing reasonable
notice, ought to be postponed in operation uni
lst January.
Mr. OWEN attempted to commence genera
debate, but was unsuccessful on this amendment
Mr.. Mckay said he had received numerou:
letters from importing merchants of n. Y. ant
elsewhere, protesting against September, and dc
string January or July.
Messrs RHGrr, PAYNE, and D. II. LEWIS
talked warmly OF the oppression and abuse Of TIT
People under the present law, and as measure
Of relief advocated its passage and operation /"
staHter.
Mr.. Mckay moved to amend the amendmen
by fixing the the time the LIST July.
Mr.. WINTHROP protested against so speedy ;
change in the Tariff, and instanced one or tive
articles-that Of spice being one-(m which tn
question OF protection was not involvedl Winch
