notice of Gen. Scott with whose views he said he
was well acquainted, and also OF the
support he gave that measure after the death of
Gen. Taylor, but in favor of whom he would not
vote, unless he should make an explicit declara-
ton of his sentiments.
Mr.. MURPHY, OF Georgia, followed, who
went into lengthy statement of the principles on
which the Union party of Georgia is constituted !;
stated that he Democrat, but voted with
the Wings on the issue which was then before the
country, but to his political opinions, he said,
they had undergone no change.
Mr.. McMULLEN, of Virginia, said, he did not
rise for the purpose of making speech, but he
must state with all Difference to the gentleman
from Florida, that political disqulsition was not
called for, during the consideration of the bill
sanctonng the transfer of bounty land warrants
He desired to call the attention of the committee
to the subject before it, which is to make the war
rants held by soldiers transferable; and nothing
more important, he said, than this bill had been
introduced during the present session, and should
not have been made the means OF reading pollt-
zeal lecture to the two great parties ofthe country
Mr.. CAMPBELL, of Ohio, here interrupted
the gentleman from Virginia and addressed him
self to Mr.. CABELL, but the tenor of what he said
it was impossible to comprehend, owing to the
confusion which prevailed in the Hall. The gen
tleman from Florida replied. MIR Polk, of Ten
nessee, joined in the melee, and addressed some
very stringent enquiries to Mr.. CAMPBELL, of
OHlO, VINO Heu TAKEN part III WHAT was soinH on,
and who stated, that although he was not in favor
Of the agitation of the compromise question, yet
he would vote to modify the law, being opposed
to its details; he believed that Southern men
would come up and vote for its modification.
MIR. McMULLEN at lergth obtained the floor,
but was at first led into the same course which he
had been condemning. He soon corrected him
SELF however, and said when the Presidents
message came up, it would be more fitting occa-
sion for the gentleman from Florida to let off his
thunder, rather than when bill under con-
sderation, which the poor soldier required should
be passed but if these political discussions were
to take place, and every member was to be in
dulged, neither the appropriation bill or the civil
or diplomatic bill, or indeed, any other could be
forced through the House during the session.
Mr.. COBB, of Alabama, suggested that the
committee should rise, for the purpose of passing
resolution terminating debate.
Mr.. HARRIS, t'.en moved that the committee
rise, and the chairman having reported that the
committee had made no progress in the business
referred to them.
Mr. II. moved that the debate should terminate
/ in two hours after its commencement, and one or
two amendments proonging the time having been
Withdrawn, the resolution carried. After

Committee Room Post Office and Post Roads, :
WASHINGTON Cry, Jan. Is, 1852.
SIR: The House of Representatives having re-
ferred to the Committee on the Post Office and
Post Roads the memorial of Messrs. Duff Green
and Ben. E. Green, relative to the issuing of Uni
ted States coupon bonds to certain railroad COM
panies having mail contracts, that committee has
instructed me to address circular to the Sc
vera railroad companies in the United States,
enclosing with the same the memorial of the
Messrs. Green. In accordance with the said COM
mittee, have the honor herewith to transmit a
copy of said memorial. Allow me, sir to ask
that it may receive the consideration of your Board
Of Directors, and that, at your earliest conven-
fence, their opinions and suggestions on the sub
ject-matter Of said memorial may be communica-
ted to said committee
Should your company desire to send delegates
to the railroad convention to be held in this city
the LIST of March next, as suggested in the cir
cular attached to the memorial of the Messrs.
Green, it will enable you to communicate person
ally, through your delegate much valuable infor-
nation, to the details necessarily connected
with the subject -matter Of said memorial, should
any action thereon be advised.
Very respectfully,
EDISON Z. OLDS, Chairman.
The following is the memorial referred to
10 The Senale ana house or hepeSeHtdttpfS " Tue
United States
The memorial of Duff Green and Ben. E. Green
respectfully represents, that modification Of the
laws regulating mail contracts with railroad com
panies so as to authorize the Post-office Depart
ment to deliver railroad companies, on perpetual
contracts for carrying the mails, an amount of five
per cent coupon bonds, chargeabe on the reve-
nues of the Postoffce Department, the interest on
which, at six per cent, would be equal to the
payments authorized by existing laws, would
save the government on the present rate of expen-
d,ure through the Postofice Department, within
one hundred years, many hundred millions OF
dollars, and at the same time furnish permanent
and solid basis FOR an accumulation Of capital I'M
der the control of citizens OF the United States
which will greatly contribute to the development
Of the resources, and augment the prosperity, OF
the people and government of the United States
That the views of your memoralist are more fully
explained in the printed circular Of the commit
tee, and in the letters addressed to governor Floyd
which are hereto annexed and made part Of this
memorial And your memoraists respectfully
pray for modification ofthe laws regulating mai
contracts, as therein suggested

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
TUESDAY, Feb.

TUESDAY, Feb. s
Mr.. LANE, of Oregon, introduced resolution
of a local character, which was referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs, and ordered to be
printed.
Mr.. JONES, of Tennessee, submitted reso-
linton. instructing the Committee on Military At
fairs TO enquire into the eXpedlency OF placing
troops on the route to California for the protection
of travellers and others, which was accordingly
referred
He then moved that the House resolve itself into
:, Committee of the Whole the state OF the
Union, for the purpose of taking up the order of
the dav-the bill which had been sent down from
the Senate, and that which originated in the House
on the subject Of bounty land warrants
The House having resolved itself into such COM
mitee, the Clerk proceeded to read the bill hich
had been sent down from the Senate and the
first section came up for discussion, the object of
which is, to provide that all bounty land warrants
that are issued, shall be made assgnabe, pursuant
To such regulations shall he prescribed by the
Commissioner of the Land Office, and providing
that the person who is entitled to claim under such
warrant shall be entitled to his land at the rate of
81 rs per acre
Mr. HARRIS, of Tennessee, moved to strike
ont the first section of the bill, and TO substitute
the frs, section of that which was reported by the
select committee.
This the Chairman ruled to be out OF order,
both bills being before the House
Mr.. CABELL, of Florida, then took the floor
and spoke for an hour, except when INTERRUPTED,
but without, in the most distant manner, alluding
TO the bill under consideration. Ills object beng,
as he afterwards stated to place himself right be-
fore his constituents, and to define his position IN
the House. He read article from Georgia
Union paper, presenting the course which that
marty should take at the next Baltimore conven-
lion as a m member of the Southern Wing party,
he said he was opposed to Socialism, q reelysm,
Abolionsm, and all sorts OF isms of the North, as
well as of the South; touched upon Massachusetts
notifies, where he said the Democratic party was
breaking up, which called up Mr.. RANTouL in
explanation, who said he mad been elected by the
Democratic party, after he had explained his
views. and had received the largest number OF
Democratic votes, rejecting Free soilers.
This Mr. G. considered as an evidence in favor
of his hypothesis, and as proof that change is
taking place in the Democratic party of Massachu
sets He tn en- made some auslon to Mr.. DIS
wis vote on the compromise bill, which Mr. d
said was because he did not consider 1t as strin
gent enough.
Alter Mr. CABELL had concluded his exposi
ton of the politics of the country, with reference
to the compromise measure, he concluded with
