Messrs Cass and Dougias, Presidectial o didates, were perplexed. In sustaining the system, they lose the South, and in opposing the eystem they lose the West. Finally, as a compromise, it was agreed to amend the bill and send it back tothe House, asthe neatest way to kill it. A committee of three was appointed to make the amen Col.

The Committee of Ways and Mean had in vain called on the War Depart at as to what items in the bill could be curtailed; therefore, the committee had to strike down appropristions in the aggregate.
