Mr.. HoUsToS is young man Of fine abilities and
pleasing manners. He supported The OH WIN ms rs
amendments in short and able speech; much OF
his hour having been wasted yesterday by the
Loco Feco fight
Mr.. BAKER, of Illinois. followed in short speech
in favor OF the bill. He proposed an amendment
looking TO the improvement OF the Illinois river he
made some interesting remarks on the internal I'M
provements OF his STATE
MIR. Seldom Of Va offered an amendment, The pur
port OF which was aot heard
Mr.. BAYLY OF Va spoke hour on oregon. the
Tariff &c. He said he would not discuss, as others
had done, the Oregon question, and yet ne went on
for good part OF his hour TO speak on the subject
He would not desert the President ii ne should com
promise on the i9th degree, he thought the matter
ought 10 be compromised, and be would not quarrel
with the President if be should settle on 54- 49,
which is not within the range OF possibility without
war. He could not see why the subject was INTRO
duced. The Executive would not be overawed by
such remarks
He contended that Government had no power 10
make internal improvement, either with or without

tiona
But Mr.. B. said he had risen to reply TO the gen.
,leman from Mass. Mr. HuDsoS) on the Agricutu
raj question His people were almost exclusively
agricultural. Ny people, said ne, are farmers
What is meant by M Internal Improvements
and the Tariff are measures of the same kind. They
are Chinese twins. Mr.. GILES OF Md. was under
stood TO chime in StdmeSe, but no notice was taken
of the correction
Mr.. B. asserted among other things that there was
not OF land i 10 be cultivated IN Great Brit
ain except in the parks of the Mobility that was not
now in This is not in accordance with my
recollection of facts. There thousands of acres
in Ireland this very day OF the very best kind OF
land to be reclaimed from its original wiIdness so
in Scotland and other parts OF Great Britain. Mi.
B. consumed the remainder OF the hour in reply 10
Mr. HUDSON.
He was followed by Mr. STEWART OF Pa. in q
speech OF hour long, every line OF which is worth
golden eagle. if it could only reach every working
man in the Country.
He commenced by saying that every thing which
Southern gentlemen wished TO pass was consutu-
,ione; what they did not like unconstitutional.
One of the Southern Members asked him to men.
ton one measure which was unconstitutional, that
they had defended.
Mr.. STEWART replied-Texas, and every thing
they wanted to pass.
The West was the sep.child of this Republic,
and it had got the step-chds share; but this would
not continue. The OF similar bill last year had
robbed them OF their rights.
Mr.. CoBB of Ga. asked Mr.. STEWART who elect
ed Mr.. Tyler.
Mr. STEWART, holding up both his hands, pro-
tested against revivng the memory OF Tyler. No
man in this Republic had voted for him as Presi-
dent The question was not who elected MN, but
who supported him.
Gentlemen contended that Government was onlyto
interfere with foreign commerce Everything here
was Foreign--Foreign. Mr. STEWART thought our
own people deserved some of the attention OF their
Government.
He then turned TO MIR. BAYLY, and said he would
notice some of his assertions Mr.. STEWART then
made one OF the most successful attempts ever wit
messed in Congress TO annihiate the arguments oil a
political opponent.
Mr. BAYLY had talked of England depending on
US for agricultural productions The contrary was
the fact Half of all the British goods and live
sxhs of all the iron used In this country imported
from England, in reality British agricultural
productions used in the manufacture of these arti'
Giles.
A gentleman from Va. here asked Mr.. STEWART
whether he would refuse TO give the South mar
ket for their cotton and tobacco
Yes. said Mr. S. but we of the West and North
will not be made slaves 10 encourage your cotton
and tobacco.
Mr. BAYLY here asked Mr.. STEWART question
about the Corn-Laws &c.
Sit down. said Mr. and III tell you
Our Corn goes through Canada 10 England on CO.
lonial duty "a shillings The North OF Europe sends
its Corn at duty of Is shilings 10 gland-and yet
we have an assertion by Lord Ashburton, by the
last news from the British Parliament that the North
of Europe furnishes l0lhs of al the foreign Corn
imported into that Kingdom. What will ii be when
the duty of 10 shillings is taken off from the Corn OF
the North Of Europe!
L, is fact-strange, but nevertheless true-ihat
the people of the West in using British manufactures
consume five times much British agricultural pro.
ductions as the British do of Western agricultural
productions. The agricultural productions oil this
country are estimated al one thousand millions OF
dollars-E ngland takes only about two millions OF
this.
The gentleman buys British manufactured coat
al 20 dollars buy coat al 20 dollars oil American
manutacture-his money goes 10 England. halt OF IL
facture-my money crculates among my neiShbors,
half of i, buys wool from the farmer and the other
bali is for American agricultural productions con-
sumed by American manufactures. Every thing
done uy this Congress be for the benefit oil
British commerce, British manufactures &c Surely
it is time TO do something for American manuiac-
lures. Why one of our commttee-rooms IN this Capt.
tol is now used by the agent Of British manutac,
lures. He hoped that room might be appropriated
20 show American manufactures. The British act
is in unison with this Congress. We are showing
British arguments. and the British House OF Lords
are printing American arguments against our own
manufactures Mr.. Walkers report, Sc.-lcries OF
Sir Robert Walker
1 tell you, said Mr.. STEWART. that il you break
down the present Tariff the party now in power will
be overthrown as in $40.
Then said Southern Member. why not go with
US
So Iwould, said Mr. 8 if l loved my party better
than do my country.
Mr. STEWARDS hour here expired and Mr. Ew'
ING OF Tenn. got the floor.
The Committee then rose and reported progress
and the House adjourned.
