Mr.. MOORE, OF Louisiana, presented certain
joint resolutions of the legislature of that State
Mr.. LANE, Of Oregon. by leave, introduced
the following bills which were read twice and re-
ferred bills for the relief of George Alternately
J. p. Gaines and G. M. Walker; bill amending
the act creating the Office of Surveyor General in
Oregon; bill amending the act establishing the ter
ritorial government of Oregon.
REPAIR OF THE LIBRARY, &c.
Mr.. CLINGMAN moved that the House 90
into Committee Of the Whole on the sta e Of the
Union. He believed that the gentleman from
Tennessee (Mr. A. JoHNsoN) was willing that the
homestead bill should be passed by, in order that
the bill providing for the .pair Of the Library
might be considered. Its want was much felt,
and an appropriation should be made at once. He
also urged an appropriation for continuing the
work on the new wings of the capitol.
THE DEFICIENCY BILL.
Mr.. HOUSTON urged the propriety of taking
up the deficiency bill. The government drafts
were daily being dishonored and protested. An
immediate appropriation necessary.
Mr.. CLlNGMAN Withdrew his motion.
GEN. BurLKa AND SENATOR DOUGLAS.
The House went into Committee of the Whole
on the state Of the Union, (Mr. HIBBARp, of New
Hampshire, in the chair,) the homestead bill
granting 100 acres of land to. actual settlers, on
certain conditions, being in order.

titled to the floor, occupied hour in replying to
the remarks Of Mr.. BREcKEsnIDGx, Of Kentucky,
touching the course Of the Democratic Rerie,c IN
relation TO General Butler, and the other Demo
cratic candidates for the Presidency. He said
that the Democratic party Of his State (IIlinoiso
demanded that one of her representatives should
come forward and meet the charges which had
been brought against her favorite son. That
party had right to be heard here. 1t had ever
stood firm, and never given way, where Demo-
cratic principles and measures were concerned
No man had done more to advocate those princi-
ples, aud bring about the results Of continued
success on the part of the Illinois Democracy,
than Judge Douglas, for whom he (Mr r. now
appeared. Twenty years ago that gentleman
came to the State Of Illinois poor, friendless
