Mr. BAY of Va. moved that the House pro.
ce.d to The election of Public Printer. The House
had partially voted upon this pfop,silion when Mr.
The House should be done by Contract and given hs
lowest bidder
MIR. DAVIS oi ny. defended his Resolution briefly
and ably. lie SAID that the mutton he had submitted
ought 10 commei iseli 10 the consideration Of the
otfs OF the House twas due to economy and To public
duty That some reformation he introduced into the fuse
Most OF The members he presumed had received meme
rails from practical printers Of this city, offering 10 do
the printing o both Houses Of Congress for twenty three
per cent less Than was now paid for il,
This was an important saving, but there wns should
be better motive In taking the public printing from those
who generally engaged to perform it. We ought
10 do away with the spoils system with prostiuied
public press, and we ought 10 rebnke those who come
here support the Government only for the rev ards of
iered by The appropriations Of Congress. The press
ought 10 be free and speak the truth 10 be led
from faction and from all unholy alliances Should his
proposition prevail it would result in an enormous saw.
