In the House of Representatives to day Mr
McKennan asked leave to offer a resolution
declaring it is expedient to pass another
revenueibill, the same as that which was
passed and returned by the. President with
exception ofthe 27th clause, which repeals
the 20 per cent proviso of the distribution
act, and so modified as to make tea and coffee
imported in American vessels free fromduty
and instructing the Committee of IVays and
Means to report the same. with all convenient
dispatch.
Mr Gwin objected to the resolution". Mr
McKennan moved a suspension ofthe rules
for its reception; negatived, yeas 108, Hays
95-—two thirds not voting therefor.
Mr Charles Brown moved a suspension of
the rules for the reception of a resolution
that the House forthwith take upin Commit-
tee of -the whole on the Union the bill legal-
izing twenty per cent. since 30th June, and
so amend the bill as to produce a tariff of
duties to yield sufficient revenue for an eco
noniical administration of Government, and
that it take precedence of all other business
until disposed of. The rules were suspended
yeas ll3, hays 8I—two thirds not voting
therefor. ,
Mr Fillmore inqui-red, if it was in order
to inovea reconsideration of the vote on
suspending the rulesgto receive Mr McKen-
nan's 1-eso1ugion_ He wanted a direct vote
to be taken on the. resolution that it might be
known whether any action was to be taken
this session. He himsclfshould vote against
the resolution.
Mr Lane moved to reconsider the vote.-
Carried, yeas I30, nays 70. '
'gThe question then recurring on suspending
the rules to receive Mr McKennan’s resolu-
tion (above given) was taken and negatived:
yeas I22, nays 72--—two thirds not voting
therefor.
Mr Vllm C Johnson moved to take up the
vetoed bill and Message.
The motion prevailed. Mr Arnold next
obtained the floor, and moved the previous
question, which was allowed to be seconded
with a thin house.
The final‘ question on the vetoed bill‘ was
then taken, and the bill was rejected: yeus
. .
Mr Adam’s and the accompanying Reports
on the Veto was then taken_,up. the QUESIIOU
being bu theresoliition with which Mr A's
Report concludes, recommending an amend-
ment to the constitution, so as to enable a
majority ofthe whole number of the House
to enact a law when returned with the Presi-
dent's objection.
Mr Adams briefly advocated the resolution
saying, that as a general principle, he was
opposed, and ever had been, to amendments
to the Constitution, but from therecent re-
peated experience of the destructive effects
of the power in the hands of one man to
prevent all legislation, he was fully convinc-
cd that they should be adopted. He believed
that the majority of both houses should have
it in their power to passa bill after it was
vetoed, and said that of all the bills vetoed
since the organization of the Government,
the public interests would have been better
promoted by the enactment ofevery one into
laws.
Mr Adam’s report was adopted; ycas I00
nays 80. The resolution failed: yeas 98,
rinys 90-~two thirds not voting therefor.
Mr Marshall moved to reconsider the vote
and brieflyopposed the resolution to change
the Constitution, advocating as the proper
remedy it change of Erzteculia.-c. Mr Wise
opposed the resolution and attacked Mr Ad
ams. Without concluding he gave way.
The House adjourned.
In Senate the bill appropriating $80,000
to supply a deficiency in the Navy Pension
fund and that legalizing and appropriating
For contingencies &c, were passed.

ence on the bill to reorganize the Army was
concurred in and thus the bill was finally
passed.

Tuuasnav, Aug. 18.
The Senate were in Legislative Ses.~'ioii
but about ten minutes to day. Nothing was
said concerning the resolution for adjourn-
ment, (which had been postponed till today.)
In the House, the motion of Mr Wise to
reconsider the vote on the resolution for the
amendmentol the Constitution, reported b_v
.\'l r Adams, was discussed by Mr VV during
the remainder of his hour. He coniplaini-rl
‘utterly ofthe House for the adoption of Mr
Adams‘ report declaring the President
worthy of impeachment, insisting that it was
in unconstitutional proceeding, and that.
believing as they professed to, it was their
duty, in prescribed form, to prefer articlt-s of
imp- achment. and give the President a
chance to be heard in selfdcfeiicc.
Mr Raynor then in a powerful speech,
proceeded to reply to Mr Wise and comment
on the reports of Messrs Gilmer and Inger-
soll. He said that several of thecommittee,
on the, vote were for going farther than Mr
Adams had gone: he (Mr R) believed, with
.\-’lr Bolts, that impeachment of the acting
President should be resorted to.
Mr G Davis of Ky spoke with much
ivarmth in advocacy of the abolition ( f the
present Veto power, and in severe condcmna
tion of the monstrous and usurpiug course
ofthe Executive in -defeating every effort of
Congress‘ to supply the necessary revenue of
the country.
Mr Granger moved the previous question.
The motion to reconsider failed, yeas 14.

- Mr Fillmore brought before the House for
a direct vote the I‘l:‘SOlI.lIl0l') offered yesterday
by Mr Mcl.{cnnan, declaringthe expediency
of passing such a revenue bill as was just
vetoed excepting the I and clause. and making
tea and coffee free, and instructing the coni-
mittce of ways and means to report such a
bill. Mr F repeated his remark ofyesterday
that he wanted a direct vote, of the House
on this, that they might declare whether
they would act on any revenue measure this
Session.
Mr Bolts moved to lay the. resolution on
thetable. Rejected: yeas 75, nays 109. A
call ofthe House was had, and 214 members
collected.
After a number of points oforder and much
confusion and excitement the vote was taken
and the resolution was rejected: yeas 86,
nays II4.
So the House at last determined thatthey
will not send the same bill, with the excep-
tion of the Distribution clause, to the Presi-
dent. Attempts will be made to get up other
bills. The House adjourned.

-In the House Mr Everett moved that.
the rules be suspended to enable him to offer
a resolution instructing the Committee of
Ways and Means to report a bill directing
that the same. duties shall be levied as were
levied in I840 under the act of l833—provi-
ded that in all cases where specific duties

On motion of C J Iugersoll. the House
resolved itself into Committee of the Whole
and agreed to take up the bill of Mr I. to
supply defects in the existing revenue laws.
Mr I moved to substitute for his own bill
that offered by Mr Everett and just rejected.
Mr Barnard moved to add as an amend-
ment a provision that nothing, in the bill
should be regarded as applying’ to cases when
penalties were imposed by law.
Mr Adauis in some extended remarks,
opposed the motion which was intended, he
said, to screen the person who had been
instnumental in levyingtaxes on the People

In Senate to day, on motion of Mr Preston

had not been acted, upon, some of them hav

Thus it is decided not to adjourn on Mon

and will be productive: of no tariff act. j

necessity for an Extra Session of the new le-

an Extra Session was resolved on by the
majority, and the Whigs came. to it. There
they remained three weeks‘, while their op-
ponents cut and carved, and pieced and
patched, to givethentselv-es every possible
advantage in the Districts. This great ex-
penditure of time was rendered necessary by
the cross purposes of the leaning majority.

to unite on a hill reported by Mr. Byington,
which was a little the worst which has yet
been concocted, giving the whigs but six of
the twenty one members, with the most ex-
traordinary inequalities of popul-ation—the
