we DIItiiY III iIFcHIug
of Saturday, The defeat Of Gen. McKay's onti-
I'arif Bill IN the House, on Friday, on test
vote. We proceed more sisurely to give the par
ticulars:
1t had frequently bcca given oat that the
party" intended TO put this bill through on Fri
day, and the forces on both sides were mustered
with a view to that issue. On Thursday, Gen.
Mckay obtained the floor for closing speech, but,
not being ready, moved an adjournment. MIR.
Barnard, Of this State, also member of the
Committee, wished also to speak, and WdS ready.
He proposed to speak then, and reserve Gen. Nc
Hays right I'LL the next morning; but the ma
lority would not consent, and adjourned. On
Friday morning, Mr.. Barnard was permitted to
speak, and devoted his hour to an examination OF
the bill as Il Rerenue measure, demonstrating,
from the official tables OF Imports, that 1t would
not afford the amount of Revenue necessary to
pay the Public Debt and carry on the Govern
ment. Gen. Mckay followed, in very heavy
defence Of the bill, and was stopped, like MIR.
Barnard, by the expiration Of his hour.
Now camethe tug of war. Mr.. Cullom loco
of Tenn. obtaned the floor and moved the Pre-
rious Question. iir. Cave Johnson demanded
call ofthe House, which was ordered by 100 to
81. On calling, 200 Members answered to their
Names and farther proceedings on the call were
suspended. The question being now on seconding
the call for the Previous Question, it was carried,
SO to &c. So now the main question was dis
tnctly presented-' Shall this bill pass p with
the preliminary question: Shall the amend
ments made IN Committee of the Whole be
adopted by the House p I'VE believe but one
amendment was made in Committee, raising the
duty on course Wool to twenty-five per cent.
while the duties on the fabrics made OF that same
Wool were left at ten and fifteen per cent?
In this stage OF the proceedings MIR. ELMER
Tariff Leco) of N. J. moved that the bill do he
on the tqble-that is, he gently knocked in the
head Mr. Cave johnson (Loco) demanded the
Yeas and Nays. Mr.. Hardin (Whig) Of ILL.,
asked if this was to be regarded as a test vote
'Yes yes! from all parts of the House. The
Yeas and Nays were ordered, and the motion
that the bill ds lie on or uaderl the table was
sAearried, by the following vote:
