Mr.. |. z. HOLMES, remsrking that there were
occasions IN the history Of nations, where nothing
Of personal party considerations should be allowed
to interfere with the recommendations Of the exeeu-
tive, and that as Congress was about 10 adjourn,
any man would hail with satisfaction any prospect
Of the termination Of a war which, however right
eous in itself, involved the country in the expendI
ture Of millions, earnestly invoked the immediate
and favorable decision Of the House the PROPOSE
ton Of the President.
Mr.. CARROLL briefly opposed the appropra-
ton, for which he contended there no neces-
slty Congress had already appropriated money
enough for every requisite object connected with
the further carrying out of the ambitious views Of
the Executive. Mr. g. was not disposed 10 sane
ton any proposition Of this kind unless aecompa-
MED with such information as would enable the
House to vote understandingly. If there not
time enough before the period fixed for the adjourn
ment Of Congress, let the session be prolonged.
He did not wish 1t TO be SO. For his own part, he
did not feel disposed to grant to the Executive mil
lions Of money whenever and wherever he chose 10
