so the House refused to lay the bill on the Ia
BILE.
IA message was received from the President Of
the United States by ]. X. Walker, ESQ., his private
secretary, informing the House Of his approval and
signature Of sundry bills
The question recurring on secondlng the demand
for the previous question, decided in the affirm
alive, and the main question was ordered; which
main question was on ordering the bill to third
reading.

He said he was decidedly friendly TO the appro-
pnaton contained in the bil and desired 10 vote for
il. IL was necessary Mr.. W. ssid) 10 bring back
peaee-honorable peaee-to the country. For this
purpose It was asked by the Executive He could
not vote against that object But the bill went fur
lher, and advertised the country, Mexico, and the
world that, IN making peace with Mexico, we were
| az matter Of course, To acquire portion Of her
territory, noies uoisns In anticipation Of this event
the ball provides in advance what laws may not exist
in the territory thus 10 be acquired Mr. W. said he
hoped we might acquire territory upon making
peace with Mexico. lie had little doubt but thar
our proves in arms would bring about a peace, a
term Of which would probably be eession
Of territory. But to enact law declaring this OBJ
Jet before negotiations were pending, or PROPOSE.
ions FOR a cesslon Of territory made is not merely
counting chickens before they are Matched, but
even before the eggs are laid. This he submitted
was in bad taste. We may (said Mr.. W. very
properly have confidence in our power to enforce
peace, and cession Of territory. But to enact
such design into law 10 arrogant and indecent.

SENDING THE niLL TO THE SENATE.
Mr.. SIMS, of South Carolina, rose and INQUIRED
whether, under the 10th joint rule Of the two
"ouses ns Dill could be sent TO the Senate without
a suspension of the rule. 80
lie read the rule in the words following:
No bill that shall have passed one house shall be .s
ior to the other either of the last ths
days OF the session.
The SPEAKER would state TO the gentleman
rom South Carolina, and the House, that this was
not anew question to him His attention had been
called to It within few days in anticipation of the
PROBABILITY oil Its coming up. Until recently he had
supposed that not only suspension of the rule was
necessary, but that such suspension would require
vote OF two-thirds to send bill to the Senate
within the last three Gays of the session. He was,
however, led to the belief, from the examination Of
Preoedens furnished him by the clerk that this joint
RUE could be suspended by majority; the House
coud not suspend its own rules by majority, but
the JOINT action of the two houses could suspend
house. n. .'......'
Mr. SIMS. Is it not necessary that this house
shall suspend and the Senate surpend before the
bill can be senti .s.
# The SPEAKER. II is Of COURSE
