that one Teller be appointed by the Senate and two by

The House bill extending the time for two
years for emigrans to Oregon to become entitled to
grants of land and granting widows there the land
which their husbands could have received taken up
and amended, and then passed
The WarehousiDg bill was taken up
Mr.. HUNTER said that if the objection TO this
bill which had been urged persisted in he would
consent TO abandon the provision than lose the
bill He still thought the provisions extending the time
10 three years were wholesome, and ought TO be re
tanned The Senator from New Jersey was very much
mistaken in supposng the bill would result in the large
accumulation Of goods here which viii be drawn out to
take any advantage Of the market The effect Of the bill
will be TO keep constantly on hand in this country
supply of goods prevent any scarcity or any uc
tuaton and preserve that which is so desirable to
American manufsctureTs--a steady supply, and
quently steady prices. II would greatly benefit the
American navigating interests IL will benefit American
manufacturers by enabling the navigation interest
obtain from these warehouses goods not manufactured
here, TO make up complete mixed cargocs in this
country, without compelling them to 60 to Europe to
get them. He thought the difference to be effected by
this bill will be 10 have these mixed cargOes supplied by
our own manufacturers, and from these warehouses;,
instead of sending 10 Europe 10 get all fthese cargOes
not made up from our warehouses they will be from
l.
OF this business 10 citizens own private
wsrehousekeepers, and our own navigation interests
than to put the business into the hands OF British me
chantsi He read from Mr. Walkers report this sub
ject showing the immense profits derived by Great
Britain from this business Nothing could be devised 40
much the advantage of New FORK and San Francisco
which were destined to become the great commercial
depts OF this continent a. 10 encourage the warehOus
ing of lsrge quantities Of merchandise in those ports
wherewiih to supply the wants of the world. If
necessary to obtain the passage of the bin, he would
abandon the provision allowing goods intended for con-
sumption TO be waTehoufed for three years
Mr. GwIS hoped the Senator would insist on
that provision Of the bill.
Mr. BRoDHEAD did not approve Of this extern
sion of the Warchousing system, but he not very
familiar with It. He did not think New.York des
tined 20 be the great depot Of commerce the Atlantic
Ho thought Philadelphia had equal chances and pros
meets with New York This bill WINS TO benefit the i'm
porters in New York, who mostly all foreigners
lie did approve OF egsating for their particular
benefit when Il might prove detrimental to American
ion would be abandoned.
Mr.. SEwARp said his convictions we're that
this bill only right as it stood but thst the pro
vision objected 10 most important and ought TO be
passed lie hoped the Senator from Virginia would in
fsi upon H. The private warehouses were an excellent
provision. This Government would have been much
better of ii IL had never had public warehouse. 10
was much better leave that business to private enter
prise and competition. He thought the storage OF im
ports for three years ought 10 be allowed, for would
have the effect TO prevent the sudden and spasmodic
changes in the market He would not dispute whether
NewYork or Philadelphia was 10 be the greatest Allan.
tic commercial depot and market Of the world but he
would say to the Senator that neither one nor the other
would attain that desirable position they adopted the
policy Of dscoursgng foreigners from engaging therein
u all the commercial relations oflife.
