IN SENATE.
Monday, Fdb. 18.
Revenue Collection Bill.
The Senate proceeded to consider the Bill
to provide further lor the Collection of Duties
on Imports.
Air. Poindexter, who was entitled to the
llnor, declined tiie dehate, on the score of ill
health; but hoped he would bo able to address
the Sena;6 another time on the subject.
The Chair having stated the question to ho
“Shall tliis Bid he ordered to be en .rosse l
and read a third time?” Air. Calhoun m,ovcd
its postponement until the next day,' sdying
he had not anticipated the question so soon,
and hoped there would be a full Senate vvhen
it was put.' The Yeas add Nays being order
ed on Air. Calhoun’s motion, Air. Fofsylh op
posed the jiostponement, as the Session was
drawing to a close, and suggested that after the
bill should be passed to a third reading, further
discussion might take place on its passage.
Air. C. replied the third, reading was the most
trying question, and ought tc be taken in full
Senate—he particularly desired the presence
of the colleague of the Senator from Georgia.
Air. Forsyth rejoined that his colleague would
be present as soon lie was notified that the
question was to be taken. Air. Calhoun then
withdrew his motion for a postponement, aud
Air. Forsyth moved to amend the bill by adding
certain words to the last suction, and striking
out the words “lsf and oth sections” there
from. The effect of this was to limit the en
tire act, instead of the 1st and 5th sections on
ly, to the end of holt Session of Congress.
The Ayes and Nays were ordered.
Air. Wilkins said the committee were of tte
opinion that all the provisions, cjjcept.tho 1st
and 5th sections, ought to be engrafted oj) our
ptdiciary system. The case of the refusal of a
Clerk of a State Court 10 furnish a copy of the j outlie cugro:
record, had twice occurred, and had not been
provided for, except by this bill.
Air. Kane suggested a modification of the a-
mondment, so as to extend jt to the limitation
of all suits arising under the act which shall he
pending at its expiration.
AI r. Forsyth accepted the modification. j Wild’ ralijfe of hiunuu
Mr. Webster said the provisions of the bill | latitude of human nvo
Naudnin, Prentiss, Poindexter, Robbins, llqhbpi-
sou, Seymour, bee, ripfA'guc, Tipton, Tom
linson, Webs ter. Wilkins.—26.
Air. Poindexter then rose and stated th.it as the
army and navy were about to be employed, some
appropriation was necessary, some limitation on
'tin* expenditures of the President foj tlio.purpose,
1 miiVe to amend die bll by iiit jruug a new sec
tion, providing that for the purpose of carrying
iuloenici the provisions ol tfais bill the sum of
■-dollars shall bo an;t is hereby appropriated.
Air- Grundy hoped that tho gentlsmau from
Aiississippi would fill up the blank with some
sum.
Mr. Poindexter said, lie would leave that to the
committee on tit** Judiciary.
Mr. Grundy said, the Juniciary comniiree wan
ted no money But. if the gjenUemap from .Mis
sissippi was disposed to gram au appropriation;
it would he agreeable to the committed to know
what amount he was willing to give.
Air. .Calhoun said; ditJ-thegedUeiriah from Teti-
nessie mean to say, that ini money would be re
quired for the purposes of tho bill ? The fact
must ho apparent that no appropriation is a uni
versal appropriation. It belonged to those who
had advanced this Bill, to say what amount of mo
ney would bo required. It did not beloug to the
senator from Mississippi, li the senate intended
to givo tho sword to the President, they ought not
to givo him the purse also. He looked upon this
as one of the most arbitrary of all tho provisions
of this most arbitrary biH.
All*. Grundy stated that the senator from S.
Carolina was more competwit .than any other
person to determine whether of* not there would
he auy necessity for the employment of force. If
he authorities of the slate of 6. Carolina should
offer resistance to the liars, then would arise the
necessity far tho employment of force. Blit lie
was of opiniou, that unless it rvas produced by
the act of 8. Carolina, there would be no collis
ion ; aud uo expenditure w ould be necessary un
less there should he collision. Tho committee
hoped that no such collision would arise; but if
it should, pro vision cculd be made for the expeu
diiiixo by tho next congress,
Air. Calhoun said, the gentleman had said that
there would be no expenditure unless resistance
should bo made by South Carolina. Wliht did
the .Senator mean by resistance ! It would he
seen that in this bill, the President had the power
to interrupt thaeivil process of.tint State Courts.
Did the senator suppose tljat the state of .8. Car
olina would acquiesce in (his interruption ? No.
She would be lorccd into resistance. Yes, she
would 1 Hits be compelled to tesist. But the
question of time, was a far different.question.—
lie thanked God that this question was in other
hands to decide, riotilh Carolina, in deciding
thi' question, would make the issue, with a de-
lib, r it .judgment, but with irresistible firmness.
The provisions of this hill weal beyond auy thing
he could have conceived. lie would reverse the
argument of the -Senator from Tennessee, aud
say. tnere could be no collision unless it proceeded
from ttxscouductof the general government.
Air. Smith referred to tho course which had
boeu pursu d in reference to the dispute with
Pennsylvania, when >imii:ir pow ers were vested
in tho President, and the military force was call-
cil ott:. An appropriation was made at tho fol
lowing sesdbn to defray the expenditures caused
by that disturbance, lie did not apprehend the
occurrence of any war. UeJieliJved that the ve-
iighting, as a sufficient guard was provided a-
gaiiiil titer state, of 8. Carolina getting hold of a-
ny property which could produce such an evil.
On motion of Air. Poindexter, the yeas aud
days were ordered on kb® qprtyrimi.'
The question was tlie.h taken and decided as
follows. Yeas 5, Nays *11.
Air. Bibb then moved to amend the bill by ad
ding a section, limiting the expenditure to three
millions., And on this question the yeas and nays
were ordered.
Air. Forsyth comtpe.ivccd a series of observa
tions on this motion, which lie continued Until 3
o'clock, liis argumei.t, commencing, with tho
precise motion before the Senate, and gradually
expanded into a view of thepihole subject under
debate Before lie concluded—
At 3o’clock, the Senate, according to its rule,
adjnnrncd to uitct again at.5,
Air. Wilkins gave notice^ t!i;|tj)c should at the
