that our Government, which seems to have
money to sqaander, should ever build an edi-

OF st. Louis and its rapid growth. HE was

Here the Speaker admonished Mr.. Benton
thas his time was up under the five minutes

Go on ~
Mr.. Houston read from the record, that an
appropriation had been made for the compile
ton Of the oustom-house at St. Louis, to show
that restriction had been stipulated
Mr.. Benton said the gentleman had read an
old act, intended for kind of building not now
contemplated. The old idea had been given
up; and since it had, and permanent buildings

Mr. Phillips spoke in its support.
Mr. Haven. and Mr.. Stanton, of Tennessee,
