RoCKAWAY. I.- 1.. rtl*|ll. Ifi, 1837. J
To the Editors of (he S. 1 ork Dailey Express-
I got one of your |rper* m ivlncli you printed
mv lasi letter to “ Unrle Sam,” anil when readin
un'i, il was foi innately for von that yon whs twen
ty miles oil'—tor I nevei tliil see such tarnal wink
as you made of Siio< w parts of my It'tier. How
ever, all I’ve pot to say about il t-, if folks who
read my letters in print, find any thing in ’em
111 it don't read smooth, and uint uorrecl as to
dales and facts, they may set down against I lie
p. inters. Il tv,is jest so once withs young Don*
lor, a ftien.lol mine, iu Ilia Colars limes. He
writ a lone letter once, ahoul how he cured lolks
I v giving Calomel, he will “Calomel in doses
every minute,” and the printers put it in print
” Calomel in doses every minute.” Up went
C .looicl among the i'othec-trys —and down went
toe poor sick folks. It warn! the Docloi's laull,
for % il was all the primers, and little ”e.”
Now alorc 1 trust yon with other mailers, I'll
give you the priutiu of a story I have got In tell,
and you may stick as many K’s and O'* I's into
it as yon please, and I ilunt care what you make
uo’t so long as folks take Ilia mother nil and
hrain on't. It is a slory about ‘ Uncle Sam,’ and
some of his capers among the women folks.
• Uncle Sam,’ you know, always was a socia
ble kind of kriitur, and Irom Ins first comin into
life, never could get along well without liaviu Ins
hull family shout him. allon ‘em given him ‘ a
boost up ttie tree,’ but • Uncle Sam’ found ns
ni ioy lolks do afore they gu gray, that unless he
look a wile to take of Ills bullous and keep things
slirk'd up ahoul house, lie would g> l into trouble
and so forth. Well liter Iryin vaiions plans and
secin a good deal of trouble one way and an
other. lie mok advice some twenty years ago.
aml got married to a smooth quiet qnaker Lilly,
woilli 23 Millions nl dollars, and as Uncle Sam
was considerable libeial in his way. he put into
(lie family stock several iiiiluuts of dollars, (not
in the • rale grit,’ however, Imt ultal he said then
was just as good as * giil,') and ,n together they
had do Millions. Well, do millions iv as no trifle,
anti things went on smooth and slick for nigh
upon 20 years, and every body said at h one anil,
abroad, there never was a happier couple. Un
cle Sam’s wife did all . wife could do, and tlio’
Uoclc Sam would once and a while, swell lip and
talk big. his wife said nothin, toil kepi slichen up
his breeches when he'd split ’em, hi and sew on Inn -
tons when lie’ll iwicli'd'em off. Hut by and by
* Uoclc Siam'got mix'd up with odd company,
anil among oilier things that got a kink in Ins
head in.lot Fanny Wright's doctrines llial a man
of so much importnice liid'i.t ought lo slick lo
one wife, hoi have as many asllie great Mogul.‘l
swow.’ says Uncle fsam I'm n good mind tn’ry it.
>o tie talked to other folks about it, and to rights
thv galls got tiie notion too ; and then Uncle Sam
got one Amns Keiulle to go round anil sound
about, and sen il the gall* would stand the racket,
and he come h ick and says lie. Unde Sam there’s
no mistake about it ; the galls arc all ready and
more than you can shake a stick at; and sure
• noiigh just then the gals aII havm got the no
tion gel, ihey praised up *• Uncle Sam and abused
liis good old qnaker w .fe—O shaking ! there’s
no leihti what they did'ut say ; and among oilier
things they said Uncle S till's wife was—Ssliaw/!
you dont siv so ! ! and ■■ mercy on us! !
Well tire next thing we see of Uncle Sa ■■ was
be looked as tine as a fiddle—ruffles round both
rods of his shirl, and sicii a captain as lie cut
among his new wives for a spell, uevci vs as seen
afore—and stch frolicks ! ! and all his own cioii
les so busy as he was among ’em, till some folks
begun In wmk and whisper llial Uncle Sun had
wives emit lor himself and friends. Things
went nil llius for inree years when Uncle iSam
In gin (as most lolks do, when they git 100 iiittch
ofag-nod ilmig) lo smell and led troubled; and
iesi iiicw | got back from foreign parts and I met
Unde Sain and il il had not been lor his bein
my own relation and known him and lovin him,
in any shape, as I do my o n father or mother ]
never would have known him at all. Why says
1 Uoclc Sam is this you ? says I. I dont know,
AI ijjr savs he; hut why do yon ask, don’t 1 look
as mural as ever ? says he. And there lie stood,
hnldiu his breeches up with Iruili hands, and ins
elbows boll) torn out and a dirty shill sleeve pe
pin fli r ougli, and holes in Ins slockins, and Ins
all plastered over. Why says I Uncle Sam what
in airih ails yon ? Come, say I. give me your
hand my old Iriend, and let us talk it all over lo
geiiier. I am sorry Major says he, 1 can’t shake
hands with you just now, my hands are busy says
lie. VVliat says I hidden the money aye. Uncle
8 no. boil* hands foil ns osu >1 says 1. Not ex
actly, Major says lie; and that lie came close lo me
and whispered in my ear, I am in a had box, Ma
jor. says lie. I have got so many wives, 1 ami got
bntlon left for my suspenders, they are all nfl'.
Do tell me now, says I, l want lo know !!! I\s
line, says lie, and you may seefor yourself. And
won lhai / looked, uuil sure euuf, there never
was a m in hi such a picket.
Well says / Uncle Sam, this comes from folks
givin you bail advice—or rather by your not ta
kiog ‘oil advice. You forget says /, mie fact—
wml that if, that it was intended that your family
milters slioul I he regulated on die same plan of
every other well regulated family, and that llio’
yours is (lie General Government family, it was
intended io be legulaleil jest on lie same plan as
the family ol the humblest of • your masteis,’ and
liitie, say* / was me (licitlie* wit of the llm g hi

Your m isters says /, Why the people, and I am
one ol ’em Uncle tjiiin. and il you had stock to
the rule they hail made lor the regulating ol your
lamily, you would not now he in your piesent
condition.
Now says /—Uncle Sam there is hut one way
that I can see lor you lo lake anil that is lor you
to call all vour joung about you and tel! ’em
that you can't have but one wile, anil ihey must
gel liusbalids each in their own States. Here
Uncle Sam shook Ins head ami look'd conxiilen-
Ide sail. / am afraid Major says lie its too laie.it
was an easy job to gel mi of one wife but to get
rid of so in auv, all at once, /am afraid / shill
git spank’ll as red as a cherry. Never mind that
says /,,you’ll gil no more than you tlesatve il you

Uncle Sam. Hut sivs lie’ Major must / divorce

ami the best way is to gii out on't. You'll find
that yuur young wives will lie as glad lo git till

you miis’ol talk of divorce, or they’ll bring you

From the Charleston Mereury May 15M, 1837.
We take pleasure in publishing. Iruili the Kdge
field Advertiser, tile following ,t-iv interesting ar
ticle in relation to the consummation nf the Kn
lerprise ol our energetic fellow citizen, Mr.
Shultz, for establishing a direct trade between 1
Hamburg in ibis Slate, and the (most important
commercial points of the European Continent.
In (he present midnight of commerce, such intel
ligence as this is like a ray from tlie morning
star, telling-of the coming dawn;
•• We have received the follow iug most interest
ing letter in relation to llie arrival of Nlr. Delius
in Hamburg, and feel assured that our readers
will rejoice with us, that the laudable enierprize
of Mr. Shultz, to establish anew and most iin
poitant commercial intercourse, is now about to
he consummated. All doubts must now he dis
pelled; and Mr. S in the accomplishment ol his
purpose, his vindicated anew that reputation for
public spirit, lor which he is so disiingnisliid.
We 11 ive not taken our pen with the view of pas- |
sing a lulsome eah-gv upon him or Ins town ;
but on an occasion so appropriate, we cannot lint
coiiL'iatulaie the Stale on llie bright prospects ,
which now open before if.
Mr. Editor. Lilwaid Delius, the bearer of
despatches from the Government of Hamburg, j
Germany, to Mr. Shuliz, and preliminary Cuun- 1
siil of the government of I'russia, tn the Town j
of Hamburg, Ameiica, reached Hamburg till I
Thursday ilie 4lh iast. at 12 o'clock. He was
met by Mr. (Shuliz, noil oilier citizens al the
llridge, and by l lieni escorted, under the firing
of cannon lioui the ramparts, and the inspiring
influence of Mr. Shuliz'* line band of music, In
his private mansion, w here lie was cheered bv all
that geueioiis hospitality, so characteristic of the
lonnder of ibis new town. A large concourse us
citizens from the town and country had collec
ted for the purpose ol testifying their considera
tion for the highly respectable gentleman, who
appeared lieloie them in a somewhat public ca
pacity, ami who was received wiili great cordiali
ty, il is proper lo remind the reader that Mr.
Delius is also one of llie Direciors of ** The
American and German Trading and Insurance
Company,” appointed in the Act of Incorpora
tion of llie Ligislatuie of S. Carolina, in 1835
“After an introduction to the company. Mr.
D. read a communication of a public nature from
the Senate of Hamburg, in Fnrope, which ac
knowledged the receipt nf certain doeitmenls for
warded by Mr Shuliz to that city iu relation tn
the imioiliiciioil of a commercial intercourse be
tween the lno places, ami cngratulaled Mr. S
upon the growing prosperity and opening pros
pects ol his new Town.
“ The cominunicati n also contained a sugges
tiou to Mr. S. to make some prefix to the name
’* Hamburg.” by which il could lie distinguished
from Hamburg, hi Germany. To this sugges
tion, Mr. D. added some suitable anil appropri
ateteinarks of his own. Mr. Slmhz wishing to
give an opportunity to the citizens present to ex
press their opinions, pioposcd that the meeting
he mg-anized by ihe appointment of a Chairman
and the question Ireely discussed. Col. Hronks,
ul Edgefield, was called to the Chair, whereupon
Mr. Shuliz submitted a Resolution lor the ap
pointment of a Committee of live, lo consider
amt report al some future meeting, upon the pro
priety of it. The Chair appointed Mr, Shultz.
Mr. Giay, Mr. Oliver, Mr. Sullivan, and
.Mr. Ilubbaid, a Committee, to which, upon mo
tion was added the Chairman, and Cul- l’eiubir
lon, from Georgia,”
” Tiie whole ceremony was an interesting one.
It was a proud day for Mr. Shultz. A highly
respectable and intelligent gentleman bad teceiv
ed m charge from the Senate of the city of Ham
burg. the duty of congratulating him upon the
growing prosperity of his yet infant town, anil of
expressing a flattering solicitude for tile establish
ment ol a commercial intercourse between the
two places, mutually beneficial lo each, thus le
alizing the proudest hopes of Mr. S. and the
confident promises which he had held out to ihe
public. This Public Agent w asjbefoie him, and in
the presence of the citizens of his town, official
ly performed the important duty assigned him
by Ins Government, w ith the greatest dignity and
ability.
In conclusion let me say, that not the least
interesting incident of the occasion was the cor
dial welcome piveil Mr. Delius and Lady, by the
German residents of Hamburg. And if I may
lie pardoned lor speaking thus publicly us a La
dy. I will add, that Mrs. D. by her very uuaffec
ted kindness and courtesy, ni idea most favora
ble imptession on all present.

As in the extraordinary convulsion of the limes
and laiiiciil .lino, where i* the loss so iii.k h hue
and erv i. raised about? Il is a mere change ol
the all'iirs of mankind, and the imaginary val
ue ol different spe-cies of article* or property;
ami tn 101 l accordance ol nature these tilings
arehionghl about, when Nations, Slates, Ci
ties. Hank* and individuals operate beyond their
ability to perform their undertakings. Sn, when ,
a man wades beyond the sounding of the hot- !
tom lie should know that he may get drowned. |
And moreover it i* reasonable and in accor
dance with n ilnre, that these imaginary great j
men, who act the nabob and fancy themselves ]
masters ol hundreds ol thousand* and millions of
wealth anil a host over mankind, should com.-
down, and linle ones to rise, as il is for old men
to die and young ones lo take their place.
As to the commerce between Ameiica and Eu
rope, ihe South has the same seas and uses the
same ships as ll at of the North. What articles
does the North produce for m.iiket that Europe
needs? Wheat—all Europe prodiie.esthat arti
cle for market he.self: beef and pork—all Eu
rope has ibe same. Tube sure, the North pro
duces onions ami potatoes in abundance, if Eu
rope wants them, Hhe had some specie, but
Europe lias gol that already.

the worldly affaiis, and as to commerce io par
ticular, and this commotion may tend to direct
commerce in a more natural channel than what
it has been between those Countries heretofore,
and which certainly will make the expense less
and make the gain larger. Il von come to A
merica with the articles of your manufactories,
do not go the North lor the sales of them any
more, lor she is full of imuiufacio ies herself,
and if they hoy fr-. 111 yon it is to sell again to
the South. Il you waul Colton and Rice do not
go to the North in buy them any more, lor these
articles do not grow there : and if they have
any they have brought them from Ihe South.
Come direct lo Ihe SOIIIII with the articles of
your manufactories, there you can sell them at
once to the men who want to use them : and your
Cotton bagging you can sell fur bags, to put the
very Cotton in, that yon come to buy, and cot
ton and lice you yourselves Can Imy Irom 1 lie very
planter that raises them. Going to the North to
imv Cotton and Rice, would he like coming to
llie South to buy ice. Tlieie is no witchcraft in
these things they are the sense, anil now is llie
lime to carry into a succssfnl operation.

TEXAS.— In obedience to a resolution of the
House of Representatives, the President lias
communicated lo Congress the correspondence
between the Stale Depailinent. ami llie Texiati
Minisier, Gen. Hunt, which consistsof a letter
of great length from the latter to Mr. Forsy th,
of ihe reply of 1 lie Secret iry of State, and the
rejoinder by Geo. 11.. whose communications
propose a negotiation foi the pmpnse ol annex
ing Texas to llie United Stales. The National
Intelligencer publishes the reply of Mr. For
syth ; from which it appears the IV-sideiit de
clines entering into the negotiation on the giound
that •• So long as Texas shall remain at war,
while Ihe United Slates are at peace with tier
adversary, the propsiuon of the Texiati minister
plenipotentiary nects'aiily involves the question
of war w ith that advcrsai v.” The President also
thinks there are Coilstinnional questions which it
would lie inexpedient, under existing ciicumslan
ces io agitate. So far a* the piiucq )c of the
malter is concerned, e cannot ‘t-e how the ne
gneiatinn “ involves 1 lie question of w ar” with
Mexico any more than Ihe acknowledgement of
the independence of Texas. The lact is we re
gard this as a mere pretext, The President we
believe, is in his Iteait opposed to the admission
of Texas under any circumstances.— thlar ty A 7 .

Indian Penetration . —The delegation ol Fox
Indians, now in Washington, it is said, have man
ifested their sagacity in giving Mr. Van Buren
an apprnpriatedrsignalion. •• On tieing presen
ted to him as iheir Great Father, they said it was
necessary he should, in this capacity, have a suit
aide tide—and alter ex imiuiug his physiogno
my ami person with some cate they unanimous
ly agreed that he must he sty led the ” Little
Fox,” pronouncing, with their usual emphasis in
ihe Indian term synonymous therewith. It is
needless to remark upon the aptness of this cog
nomen. Never was aboriginal sagacity mine sig
nally displayed. The h\slanders were convul
sed, and Mr. Van Buren himself could not resist
the impulse to laugh outright.— .V. C■ Star.
FLORIDA WAR.
Such is ilip shamelul disposition of “the par
ty” hi Congress lo hide trout the people ihe
iiial-comhict and corruption of the administra
tion end its agents, that they continue obstinate
ly to refuse the appointment of a committee. as
proposed by Mr. Wise; to inquire into the Flor
ida allair ; although every day furnishes some
Iresh evidence of the propriety and importance
of the investigation. The pertinacity with which
the majority in the House of Representatives re
sist the proposition, lolly justifies the reintnk of
Mr, Wise, that “ the leopard would as soon
change his spots as this House w ill change its de
termination to do nothing towards exposing 1119
corruptions o( this government.” On Finlay
lust Mr. W. met stie party on their mvn grounds,
and presented them with‘specific charges.’ He
read several letters, dis-losiog a must disgrace-
Ini transaction, which proves beyond a doubt
that fraud and corruption have attended this In
dian war. In February 1836. the steamer Anna
Calhoun arrived at Furl Mitchell with height
lor the I). S. army; the charge for which nninuu
led to about dollars; hut by collusion
between ihe Quarter Master. (Skinner) and the
Cleik ol the Boat (Cienshatv] the hill was made
to amount lo £6OO ; and lint sequel of the mat
ter is, that hy tlie fraud Crenshaw coolv pocket
ed |4OO. ml Skinner a round three bundled ol
Unde Sam’s money. This is Ihe manner in
which the expenses of the war have been aug
menled lo the enormous amount of thirty mil
lions of dollars ! And yet the people’s detro
crulic representatives refuse the investigation !
In connection with this subject, Mr. W ise re
lates a singular fact, which proves the difficulty
ol bringing to light the dark deeds of those tn
power, even when committees are appointed.
Speaking of what took place last session, he savs.
Individual* who. he well knew, could have tes
tified in these matters, had come to him, at his
lodgings, with tears in their eyes, and begged
hiin|nn! to *ummoti|tlieni. The proscription prac
tised in the Government, as now aihiimisiered.
hermetically sealed the mouths of witnesses.
Their bread depended on their silence. And yet
it is now said that it is dangerous to give a Com
niilteeol this Utilise power to send for person*
anil papers ! Oh !| oust kind, indulgent, he would
not say servile, representatives nf the people!”
The Augean stable never can be cleansed un

—lt has been an edifying tiling during the prrs- i
out session r, Congress—when the sight of a 1
piece of coin amongst the People is a positive

A home Thrust. —The disgraceful and weak
attempt of Ihe Administration to enlist ihe nmib
western Indians in the Florida war. met with a
scorching rebuke from tiie Sac and Fox tribe, and
has completely failed. When the proposition
was made, a chief rose and replied that they were
themselves engaged in a war with the Sioux,
anil that if their great father at Washington
would send them one Inn,died of his men tn help
them drive the Sioux from their limiting ground
they would pay their father as much for his men
as they deserved ; and as soon as the Sioux
should be conquered, they would help their lath
er iri his war with the red men of the South.
“II onr father,” say they, cannot help os to do
this, we cannoi help him.” The officer to whom
the service was entrusted, not being authorized
to enter into a treaty of this description, was
compelled to decline lurtlicr negotiation.— Star.

We find in the Baltimore Patriot of Wednes
day evening last a letter boot Mr. W ise, the able
Representative ill Coogiess from Virginia, to a
gentleman of that city, under the dale of 2fih
inst. expressing his views nf the present slate ol
public affairs. The following is the concluding
paragraph o''the letter, lo which we invite the
serious attention of our readers;
” The truth is, the nation lias lo go through its
day of probation, and. I hope of purgation too.
I advice the mercantile interest—that much abu
sed class called Merchants, who have been beg
gaided by Ihe Government and then made out
casts, and outlawed, 100, by the Presidpul and his
pany that interest which is no more dependent
upon the agricultural, manufacturing, and Gov
ernment interests than they are all dependent up
i on it—not to look any longer to Congress, <>l to
politicians, or President or lo party—the W hig
party is crippled; Imt to husband their resources,
and lo wait for the unking up of the People ! I
| look to Ihe People alone. The next two years
| will decide not only their fate, but the fate of 0111
: liberty. You know that my opinion is that noth
ing will save us but n United States Hank, We
j must patiently trait until all the humbug experi
| tnents are tried, endure all their evils until Ihe
People are heartiiy siek ol them, and when they
shall begin to think and set for themselves, then
anil not till then, can we begin to repair onr com
tnercial and financial, out individual and iiatio s
al ruin. God grant us a safe and speedy deliv
er atv ce from the harpies who batten on that wide

EXTRAVAGANCE.
The profligate extravagance, wastefulness and
corruption ol the late and present administrations ‘
‘••ay lie well judged ol by the uucnntrailiiterl as
seition ol Mr. Wise, that the Florida war has al
teaily rosl ihe government thirty millions of dol
lars. Some persons might feel disposed, firun
the immensity of Ihe expenditure as compared
with the object lobe attained, to doubt the cor
rectness ol tins statement; hilt their increduhilily
will vanish, when the coirobaraling facts given
bv Mr. Gailnnrl, of Louisiana, are called to mind. I
This gentleman stated in a speech on the Elnridj I
war, that while travelling in that territory, he had I
heard it explicity stated, that inline c*t, forty \
cords of wood had rosl the Uni'ed Stales seven I
thousand dollars. Anil in another case, the ow- |
ner ol a steam boat had received a sum sufficient ,
to defray the whole com of the vessel, for a sin

and wicked and villanous waste of the people's
money is beyond precedent in any other govern-|

(THE INDEPENDENCE IN TIIE BALTIC
Exiraci of a letter Irom a;i Officer 011 hoard the
U. S. Shin Independence, to a gentleman in
Washington City, dated—
CRONSTAD. Aug 5, 1837.
“U. S. Independence This day week we
anchored iu tins place, ami at abn tit t o’clock of
thesameday Emperor (of Russia.) visited the
ship incog, w ith all hi* Ministers, among whom
was the distiiigiisheil diplomatist. Count Nessel
rode. It was his wish to It ive visited and left the
ship without being lecogmsed. But in ibis he
i was disappointed; for it was soon whispered
among the crew, that the Emperor Nicholas was
on honcil4 -uni in lceil,-it-agypnired bill linle pen
etration to discover in the crowd the man who is
considered the best looking personage in all his
dominions. On hi* leaving the ship we manned
llie yards ran llie Russian flag 10 the mainmast
head, and saluted him with forty-one guns, which
was in mediately leinrued iy the same number,
by one ol his frigates ; he (the Emperor) causing
the American flag to be hoisted al his mast head;
an honor it is said, never before paid to any for
eign iiaiion.
“The next day his favorite Steamer came
down, and conveyed llie Coiuinodore and Mr.
Dallas to Peierholf, hi* summer residence. Last
Monday ereniegaiiolherlio.il of the Emperor's
came down and look a number of officers indu
ing myself 10 the Palace. On onr landing from
the boat, we found the Emperor's carriage, w iih
splendid horses, wailing for us, with a General,
one of the Emperors aids to conduct us. We
were taken round the gardens and llien lo the
Opera, w here wesawthe Emperor. Empress and
their daughter the grand Dutchess. Tile day fol
lowing one of the Emperors boats w as sent down
to lake Mr. Dallas lo til. Petersburg. Seve-al
officers, wiili myself, accompanied Air. Dallas,
and ufier dining with him, w enl in llie evening lo
one of the most beautiful Opeta Houses, I had
ever seen ; where it was said, there were more
than three hundred persons on the stage at the
same Line lorty of them female dancers, not
inferior, in my opinion, to Madame Celesie.
“Ii look me three hours and a half lo walk
1 through the winter palace, and lour lo go through
| the armory. The latter pi ice eoiilains two Ihiii
i dred thousand stand of arms, in perfect order be
j sides all the arms taken front llie Turks. I saw
I several curiosities of the Empress Catharine ; the
1 tea that Peter the Great rode in. and hislriumph*
i al chariot; and all the dresses worn by the Em
peror and Empresses, from the lime nf Catharine
| and Peter llie Gieat, down to the piesent day.
I visited some of llie most splendid and richest
churches, in the world.
“ While ive remained at St. Petersburg, one nf
| the Emperor's aids, accompanied ns every w here,
| a,id extended lo ns every civility anil attention in
bis powef. Il would have taken me several
i months to have indulged my curiosity. I need

\ five Senators absent (probably not expecting the
vote 10 betaken) who would have voted against
die hill.
Mr. Clay ol Alabama made his formal debut
to-day in a speech in suppurt ol llie measure ; and
a more miserable melange of stump declamation,
and refuted charges, and worn out calumnies,
the half dozen people who graced the g-illeties,
never had to listen to. This person is 111 every
respect the great ennitast of tlie illustiions states

one of those beings, who repeat with complacen
cy, assertions that have been disproved over and
over again ; and yet •• lay the 11 altering unction

not inflict upon yum readers, the trash this Sen

the Unileil Slates, &,<>. &e. All the fiolh and
foam that have ever been poured forth from shal
low heads and linle hearts, 011 these subject*

which the Honorable Senator imagined was Phil
lippi. He had not even the poor merit of origi
nality—his slory his been told a thousand limes

In ‘he House of Kepresentativcs, the resolu

of the morning hour. Mr. Meargant of Penn,
moved to refer it to the Committee on the whole.
Mi. Adams and Mr. Wise supported the motion
and Mr. Glascock. Mr. Clark of N. V. opposed
it when it was cm oir hy (lie anival of the hour
for eoing to the orders of the day.
I lie |louse then went into Committee of the

Sundry amendments were then successively ofier
