De referred that Committee And he quoted the opn
ion expressed By Gen Jackson in his hrs' message m
relation the right and duty OF the Government 70
protect the country from the injurious commercial
regulations Of Foreign Powers.
The interests Of Commerce were grest-so also were
the toe interests OF Agriculture But the subject OF
Manufactures had been separated from that OF Com
MERGE because Il required the sbOrs of separate and
distinct Committee. And now the amendment TO the
amendment proposed ~ 20 backnot only 20 send the
subject 10 the Committees of Commerce and Manusc
lures but also 20 add tire Committee on Agriculture
Il true, ne repested that the interests OF Com
nerce sud Agriculture were great interests but ola
I follow when a subject referred % the Commit
tee on Commerce snd Manufactures that The Commit
tee must necessarily conhne is views to considerations
affecting only this that particular branch OF industry
or business Surely not Mr.. NJ very briefly enforced
this view OF the by reference 10 the interests ~
the agriculiuriss sud the mode by which they could
best be promoted.
He did propose To discuss the question OF pro
lection is thought he had said enough TO show that
the House did refer The subject TO the Com
mttee on Manufactures, u would depart from thst
which had been IL uniform usage since this interesting
question had first been discussed To that COMMITTEE
where the duty properly belonged, he hoped It would
be referred
Mr. FISHER OF Ohio followed but before he had con
eluded he way Mr. STANTON moved that the Com
mtee rise.
The motion having prevailed. the Committee rose
and reported progress, and the House adjourned
