With the tion of the items I have enumerated, I believe ‘that all the items were recommended by the Exeou- tive as necesrary to carry on the government. If there be no objectionable items, and the gentlemen on the democratic side feel justified in voting against the bill on constitutional grounds, the only inferenoe is that the government does not want the mouey, and that the government has means enough without the bill. Ifthey Tefuse to vote for appropriations recommended by the President, I do not see why the whigs thould not vote smilarly.’ If the bill is rejected on the ground that it makes an appropriation for the Savannah river, which involves a constitutional question, I say that the re- corded votes on this side of the House and the other show that a large numver have no constitutional scruples; and this will not account for it, [A voice from the democratic side:—“ We will take care of our own course about that.’] ‘The gentleman froin Geor- gia proposes to recommit the bill for the pur- pore of enabling the Committee of Ways and Means to getridof that item.

The object of the bill underconsidera- tion makes appropriation for the civil list. including not only the Executive, but other branches of the go- Yernment; a bill which not only makes agpropriation for the support of the Executive, but even fur your- selves.

[He will.”] Does amy one suppose ‘that, at the close of « session, when the appropriations ave necessary to carry on the government, that tho President will veto a bill because there is one item he do not aj prove? A FEW QUESTIONS, ENLIVENED BY AN ANECDOTE. Mr. Tuxxen—l will adk whether the particular clause referred to was not put in the bill to provoke a ‘veto? Mr. Hvpsox—I oan. say for myself that such a thought never came into py mind. The suggestion Was bever made in committee. directly or indirectly. According to my best belief, there was no such influ- enev which ld to its insertion. Mr. Tunsxex—I ask why were not appropriations for the Mississippi aud Ohio rivers put in. as they stand in the same position with the Savannah river? have been commenced and not completed there. Mr. Hupsox—Thia, it geems to me. is rather an ex- ception, avd a particular case. The obstructions there were placed by government itself, and here by nature. Mr. Turwen--Another question. Mr. Hupson—The gentleman can vote for the bill with propritty. The baltimore Convention was not in favor of a general eystem of interval improvements. Mr. Mrane—Will the gentleman permit me to say a word? Mr. Hupson—Yea, sir, Mr. Turner, (who had not taken his seat)—One more question. Mr. Hupson—No, no. | don't give way. Mr. Mravr—The gentleman has permitted me to say a word. Mr. Hupson—I don’t yield the floor. I say, that to vote for the appropriation for Savannah river wiil not come into conflict with the Baltimore Convention. That alludes to a general system. re is one folitary item. It can’t be considered as a system, or a part of @ system. (Mr. Hudson here paused; Meeers. Bayly aud Meade immediately and im- patiently called out loudly, “Mr. Speaker,” “Mr, Speaker,” wisbing to express their views. This aroused Mr, Hudson, who said:) I have not yielded the floor yet, sir. (And the laughter that sucovsded was hearty and Jong-continued ) Mr. Mrave-I ask, whether the gentleman heard that the President would veto the bill with this clause atter the vote in the comunittee to exclude it? Mr. Hupson—I can answer very readily and cheer- fully, and cannot do so better thap by telling an anec- dote. A man who was a little intoxicated—I mean to apply this to my friends——(--Ha! ha! ha!?’) . Mraoe—He who drinks thinks so of his friends. (Ha! ha! ba!) Mr Hvpson—A man who was a little intoxicated was asked whether he could answer a certain question, He raid he could. ‘The gentleman propounded a ques- tion. “Oh! I can answer that. It is easily answered and foolishly asked.’ (Ha! ba!) If whether I heard the remark one minute or one hour before, or one mi- nute or one hour after,is to control the vote, { don't care. Mr. Mrape—I understand the gentleman to insinu- that the question was foolishly asked and had no application. Do I so understand ? ‘Mr. Hupson—I simply related an anecdote. (H ha! ha!) Mr. Mrape—I have only to reply that the question was pertinently asked, for if the gentleman and his party learned that the President would veto the bill after the vote was taken, in committee,it explains readily the conflicting votes of the geatlemaa and his party in committee and in the House, the object being to entrap the President. Mr. Vintos—! ask whether the President has given, out. in advance, that he will veto the bill? Mr. Mxaps—I can’t answer ; 1 don’t know. Mr. Baviv—It can be answered. Mr. Meapr—lI say to the gentiemen on the other side that they ask foolish and impertinent questions. Mr. Hupson—I can only say that singe the last vote was taken, the intimation was made to Of course it bas no influence on me.as! have not since been called upon to vote, and it can have no influence upon me. I will not deviate one-e'ghth of # hair from dread Gf Executive displeasure. Gentlemen on. the other side who wish to save the President from vetoifig the bill, are anxious to remove the objectionable feature. Mr Crarx—I understand that, a umber of years ago, an appropriation was wade to construct the Cum- berland dam, in. the Obio river. The dam was partly constructed. and, being left unfinished, much of it wash ay. lask the gentleman to draw a distiao- tion between this obstruction in the Ohio river and the obstruction in the Savannah river. This bill con- tains an appropriation for the Savannah river and not for the Cumberland dam. Mr. Virron— Did not the gentle: yote inst it? Mr. Crsex—Yes, and | will always do so. But that docs not agkwer my question, Mr. Hupsos—It was not put there for the reason that it would run against the Baltimore Conventio: Mr. Cra hen. according to the gentleman, on- n be provided for ? I say 80, in accordance with the Balti- more Convention. Mr Cianx—Does the gentleman say that action, here is controlled by the Baltimore Convention? Mr. Hupsox—Not on this, but on the other side of thehoure.. [Ha! ha! Mr. Cuanx—Explain the difference between the ob- structions in the Savannah and the Obio rivers. Mr. Hupson— Government ob-tructions in the Savannah river. to keep the British from comin; in. and thore in the Ohio were placed there for facili- tating cofimerce, by means of adum ‘The gentleman's President vetoed the bill which would have raised t! dam to its he ght, THE YETO—WHIG TACTICS—A QUESTION OF VERACITY. General Bayiy_ now took the floor; be obtained it after a struggle. He differed witn his friend from North Crrolipa, in thi that the effort of the whigs to introduce irrelevant matters in appropriation bills was not without precedent. He alluded to the conduct of the whigs, in trying to make President Tyler back cut from his position, by putting into bills things which he could not fanction. The appropriation of money for the Savannah river, in the bill now before them, wasin perfect keeping with the course they ha: tofere pursued ; and, judging the fature by the part, the policy will bereafter be pursued. This item ‘wes put into the bill to provoke the veto of the Presi- dent. He would ray this, that the President has given no private intimation that he will veto the bill; but 3 | his prinesples are before the country, and it is not un- to suépect that he will do so.

(Ha! ha! ha!”) Mr. Steritens resumed, and spoke further about the President's conscience. When he concluded, Mr, Iverson obtained the floor. He spoke in favor of the President's veto message, which would oarry Mr. Polk's name down to posterity. on the brightest page of history. long after his puerile assailers shall ocase to be remembered. He proceeved further upon THE JOURNEY, and said that tho obstructions in’ the Savannah river placed there not for the benefit of the people of the United States, but for the benotit of Savannab. Mr Bunt remarked, that those hulks were put there by the Americans and the British alao. Mr, Iverson was not aware that the British joined n the work. ‘These obstructions were placed thero to prevent the enemy's fleet coming up the river during the revolueionary war. Mr. SterHens remarked, that obstructions were put there by the British to prevent the Frenchfleet ‘rom oc ming u the Amer! and other obstructions were put there b: ns to prevent the ingress of the Britis! . ox—The obstructions were not placed in the river by authority of the government, Mr. Strrunxs—They were put there for the protec- tion of Savannab during the rev. war. Mr. Ivenson—The removal does not rest on the shoulders of the government of the United States: Having croseed the Savannah river, he said that the gentleman sprung from the old State Rights party which, in 1633, met in State convention, and passe upon ‘certain principles, one of which was, that the government has no right to construct works of in- ternal improvement, Mr. Stxruess—That was before | was a member of any party. Mr. Ivenson—The gentleman was not grown up; he is a mere youth at the present hour. Mr. Stren believe that the great chiefs of that Sapbedrim are now the leading members of the gentle- man # part Mr. Ivensox—It is very convenient, sometimes, to plead innceency. (Ha! ha!) I happen to be a little older than the gentieman, and know. The gentleman was like Tushe-me-a-ha, the Indian chief, who died in this city, and who said, “ When I am gone, let the big scan be fired over me.”” When he was asked his origin, ¢ said, “1 was not born of woman; the forked light. ning came down and struck the gnariod oak, and I come forth a full-grown boy.” So my colleague leaped forth a full. grown warrior, armed with political pancply, (Ha! bat ha!) But to return: The Prosi veto this bill, if it was the last day of the session, and the last hour, and if he had to call an extra seasion d rectly after. Mr. Hvpsos—Do you speak by authority ? Mr. Iverson—I speak from the past, He then en- Jarged on the subject of Georgia politics, and ma a accusation against Mr. Stephens, of inconsistency. to which Mr Stephens replied. He likewise adverted to the political state of the nation, and, in conclusion said ; Clay was cast out like an old horse, to root for a living or die, to make room for a military ohieftain to hide the sins of the whigs. Clay might say “ Had I served my ‘ country’ with balf the seal I served my * party,’ it would net in mine age Have left me naked to my enemies.” Mr. Iverson having completed his journey, Mr. C.
