Mozvnxr, July 4.
The Senate did not sit to-day. bit the
House resumed the consideration of th Pro-
visional Tariff bill the question being on the
passage of the bill the President’s objections
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Mr. Cooper of Pennsylvania obtained the
floor, and observed that the day could not be
better occupied than in passing the bill in
despite of the Executive veto. Sixty-six
years ago, the very first reason assigned for
the declaration of independence was, that the
British King "had refused his assent to laws
the most wholesome and necessary for the
public good.” He hoped that he would not
be accused of discourtesy when he express-
ed his opinion that the conduct of the Presi-
dent ofthe United States was similar to that
of the English monarch——for the Executive
had refused his assent to the passage ofa law
to meet the pressing emergencies of the
country; and, at a time too, when no reve-
nue could be collected under the existing
statutes, etc.
Mr Adams spoke of the reverses which
the Whigs had been obliged to experience
in consequence of the Executive action with
regard tothe Bank bills, the Tariff,&c., and
vindicated'theVVhigs'by saying that they had
done all that wisdom experience and patriot-
ism could suggest to relieve the country from
its embarrassment, and restore it to its former
prosperity. In the course of his remarks he
took occasion to observe that the proviso in
ghe Provisional 'l‘ariff bill (relative to the
public lands) alone‘ induced him to vote in
the affirmative on its passage.
Mr. Pendleton moved the Previous ques-
tion, for the purpose of bringing the House
to a direct vote.
The previous question was then seconded
and the main question ordered to be put on
the passage of the bill, and the result was-
Yeas H4‘, Nay 97. So two thirds not voting
in the affirmative, as required by the Consti-
tution, the bill was not passed.
TUESDAY. July 5.
In the House of Representatives, the reg-
ular Tariff bill reported by Mr Fillmore
from the Committee of ways and means,
with a pending amendment to insert Mr Sal-
tonstall’s bill from the comiuittee onManufac-
tures, was again taken up.
Mr Kennedy of Md advocated in an able
manner the doctrine of protection, contending
that it was essential to the prosperity of the
country, and that it was one of the funda-
mental principles recognized by the Consti-
tution, a s well as by legislation from the
foundation of Government.
Mr Appleton referred to the history of
the Compromise, to the circumstances of its
adoption, averting that it was not a compro-
mise to which the protection interest was
a party, but was merely between the Jack-
son party and South Carolina; to the fact
that the Representatives from Massachusetts
voted against it in a body, stating that they
could not be bound to a measure whichthey
resisted to the utmost oftheir power.
Mr. Saunders of N. C. advocated the doc-
trines of free trade and distribution and
opposing the protection policy and ac
cusing- the Whigs of violating their
pledges of retrenchment and reform in
carrying out which he professed his great
desire to unite with them. Mr Bidlaclt
advocated an incidental protection to the Coal
and iron interests of Pennsylvania, and in
other respects took the ordinary Loco-Foco
grounds. Mr McKeon followed nearly in
the same path, opposing the doctrines of
protection etc. The House adjourned.
In Senate, a resolution was adopted direct-
ing the Secretary of the Navy to institute a
scientific examination of the invention by
Capt. Boston to prevent the explosion of
steam boilers.
The day was consuired in the considera-
tion ofprivate bills, 12 ofwbich were passed.
The Senate adjourned.

In Senate to day, the bill supplementary
to an act entltled “An act to establish Judi-
cial Courts ofthe United States passed the
24th September, I789,” was again consider-
nd, and Mr Berrien went into a technical
legal argument in support ofthe bill, and in
reply to its opponents. After souie debate-
the bill was ordered to be engrossed. This
bill relates to‘ couimon law offences commit-
ted on the high seas, or elsewhere within the
admiralily and maratime jurisdiction of the
United States,—the forms of writs, &c. for
bringing offenders to trial, and the punish-
ment to be inflicted.
In the House of Representatives, Mr Ad-
ams moved to refer the communication from
the Secretary of State, accompanying the
reasons of the President for signing the ap-
portionment bill, to the Select committee, and
that the same be printed.
By general consent the printing was
ordered, leaving the question of reference
open for discussion.
Mr Fillmore offered alresolution to take
the tariff bill out of committee of the whole
on Monday next, at 12 meridian.
Mr WC Johnson moved to strike out
‘Monday’ and insert ‘Tuesday.’
Mr McClellan moved to lay the whole
subject on the table, which was lost, yeas 88,
nays 104. The amendment of Mr Johnson
was then adopted.
Mr L W Andrews moved tolay the whole
subject on the table, which motion was de-
cided by tellers in the negative, ayes 78,
noes 96.
The question then came up on the adop-
tion of the resolution, when
Mr L W Andrews demanded the yeas and
tiays. which were ordered, and resulted as
follows; yeas 98, nays 94.
Mr Fillmore then called iipthe resolution
to authorize debate on the items ofthe bill,
and on offering amendments not to exceed
I5 minutes. to which replies can be nzade
not exceeding ten minutes. The general
debate not to be resumed after that time, until
the limited time to stop debate shall have
expired. ,
Mr Atherton objected to the reception of
the resolution.
Mr Fillmore moved to suspend the rules,
which motion was lost, ayes 90, noes 54,
two thirds not voting in the affirmative.
On motion of Mr Fillmore, the House
went into committee of the whole.
Tarifl” and Revenue B-ill.—-Mr Triplett
said he wished the question could be brought
directly before this House, whether it was
the intention of Congress to regulate Com-
merce with foreign nations, or to suffer them
as heretofore, to regulate it for us. He said
if the states had been able to regulate it for
themselves, independently of each other, this
Constitution would never have been formed.
It was for this purpose and this alone, the
regulation of commerce, that the compact of
the States Was formed.
Mr M A Cooper,’-tnext took the floor, and
having laid down his premises, he proceed-
ed to show that the measures proposed by
this Whig Congress, were not calculated for
the relief of the people, neither were they
carrying out the pledges of retrenchmerit
and reform.
