sir, have been rather at aoss TO know what 10 DO
have been afraid TO Intervene either on he one sue Or
the other side But, il is admitted by all that TINS

the United States treasury, whether be by appropra-
ton JOINT resolution, or whether u be pad from he
contingent fund OF the Seuae. take II, 10 use cant
phrase that it is the peoples money, come from what
ever quarter it may Now. sir, have heard no ooIec-

and this will be The end OF Kossuth and perhaps the end
of the doctrine OF intervention trust so, SIR, at all
events Then, sir, matter OF economy, as matter
OF justice to the inn keeper and as matter OF interest,"

and, being proposition involving appropriation II
win have to come under rule OF that House, that
every bill or resolution making an appropriation goes
before the Committee OF the Whole; and God knows
how many presidential speeches would be founded upon
this small resolution. don't know how many weeks
months evenDay be consumed in the discussion OF this
great question. Therefore sir as matter OF economy.
the get rid of it the better for the treasury OF
the United States. We have already spent more than an
hour in this discussion. ! trust, il we are compelled 10
pay The BILL we will do il now, and pay it out OF the
contingent fund of The Senate.
The question being taken on the posponement OF the
resolution, il was not agreed TO-
Mr. CASS move so 10 amend it as TO make 1t a
joint resolution.
The question then stated to be on the amendment
Mr. CASS One word. sir, and only one, which is
simply this As TO the bill, have nothing TO say about
the particulars of IL but leave it TO the committee. As to
the question about Kossuth suite, is altogether proper
that they should be supported at the public expense We
could not expect him. 10 come here alone.
Mr.. President il seems 10 me that il is rather small
affair compared 10 the other difficulty That very resou

the Senate, such. Specific appropriation is one gea
principle of the democratic pariytaught since The times
Of Jecrson-and object is 10 reduce much you
can the amount OF contingent expenditures, and make
everything as specific as you can.
The smallest claim against the naiion-previous to al

Nothing more important to this government than tha

naval bill. and we crippled the whole naval operations
The result the committee OF conference, consisting
upon the part OF the Senate OF Rufus King and the late
Mr. Lloyd, then representing Massachusetts, made
us all ashamed OF proceedings, and we backed out
from that with as ll,tle grace as any men could do. II
would have crippled the whole operations of the navy

As to this whole kossuh matter view il with sor
