Mr, Baicit, (dem.) of Ia , gave notice that to-morrow he would move the reference of the President’s message to the several committees. THE SENATE COMMITTERS—LIVELY DEBATE=MR, HALE READ OUT OF THE POLITICAL CHURCH, ETC. Mr. Bricnt moved to suspend the rules requiring com- mittees to be chosen by ballot. Mr. Hate (freesoil) of N. H., said he understood that the Senator from Indiana held a list of committees in his hand with a view of nominating them. He would like to have it stated, for the information of the Senate and country, how and by whom that list was prepared. Mr Baicnt said he had a list of committees which he intended to submit to the Senate. The committees would be nearly the same as those of last year. There wore three vacancies, caured by change of members, Themem bers of the political party having the majority had mot together and named three pertons on cach committee of five, and two on each committee of three. The list was then handed to Senator Pearce, and the whigs named the remaining members of the comumittees—in this way was the list prepared. The Senator from New Hampshire was not on apy committce, becaase thy deaocratis ma- jority believed that the Senator was outside of any healthy political organizetion (Laughter ) Mr Ha e said he was giad to be relieved from the labors of committees. He was proud of the eause given fur his exclusion Last year the Senate, with a due appreciation of bis learning aud pursuits ia life, placed him on the committee on private lund claims [le appealed to every member of the committee to say whether ne had no; dis- charged the duty impored on him. Bu; the senavor feom Indiana. with bis usual irankoess, had aonounced that the appointments on committees were not made 60 mush from the qualification of members, as from ube ftidelicy with which they adhered to certuin political organiza tions, His party, he knew, was a rmull one, for it had id back to the demoeratic party all the borrowed capi- tal it had obtained in 1848, but ail of the party now re maining were good men and trae. ‘There were only two parties, ‘The democratio bad anuibilated the whig purty. The democratic party was so big, that he thought the gentleman would find, even before this aescion was over. that it would require an outside pressure to keep it from breaking. A few days ago its orgaa, the Uni alluding to the democratic party, ssid it was“ swollsa. Now, us health had been spoken of, be did not thiak being swollen was any indication of a healt by Vigorous growua— Secce homo.” (Laughter.) He thought it rather indicated a dieared state requiring. perhaps, depletion or ocner remedy Having now obvatned the information, as to the mode in Which inese committees were appoi would muke no objection to suspending the rale, bat would con- sent that the Senate should act as it thought proper. ‘Toe rules were then suspended, and Mr. Baicur offered a list of comuitteos, which he moved be adopted as the committees of the senate. ‘The list was read Mr. Warnex, (dem,) of Wisconsin, said that he ob- served that his name was on three committees on which he bad served ac long as he hsd any desire todo These committees were on Revolutionary Claims. Agricultare, avd Contingent Expenses of she Senate. In addition to being the per State of the demouracy, Wisconsin had grea: interests which hud never been represented ia any of the Benate commitires The State was an sgricul- tural State, but attended to its own agticaliure {twas & commercial Siuie. aad was deeply taterested in the question of public lanus and (ndian atfairs. Yet, with the exception of the Committee on Commerce, Wisconsia never had a representative on*any of the important com- wittees He could not understand this, while Senators who have been here but two sessions ate appoiated on most impertant commitices. Mr Hane thought there was force in the observations of the rewator from Wisconsine There were a few re who belonged to the “ uuhealtby"? organiza. onsii,he thought heretofore on this subject bad been sickly, He remembered that on all qaestions there was one vote from Wisconsin to be found along with there of the most fanatical of fanatios. Perhaps this wes the cause of that State beicg compelled to bow to une rod Hie thought that. like the patriarch of old, of whom it was said, * Job feels the rod, yet loveth God? Wisconsin ovgbt to submit, He had been in Wisconsin, knew the interests whish the senator spoke of. In State there were counties in which he believed the fanstics had a majority. Mr. Warxes said he had no such object in view. The scnator was in Wi:ccn-in la‘ely. and had endeavored io ete the bedy politic; bat his medicine bad nov produced the effect desived. Wi-conrin, he repeated. had never been reprerented ov any of the committees having charge of the great interests in whieh she was so deeply con- cerned.
