The bill for tho re-organization of ihearniy passed the House much amendcd, so that the total force shall be 600Ü men. After the reception of tho Veto :. Message. J; Q. Adani8 addressed the House at sonic lenglh in opposition to the course of President Ty Ier. and a committee of thirteen, of whieh oe was chairman, was nppointed to report what steps were now proper to be taken in referenee to the TanfTBill. Mr. Adams took occasion, in the course of his reniarks. to eulogiie tUu present Cnngress as having done more for the country than any other that have ever asscmbled - as having done all that could be done - although he could nolprove of all ils acto. He alluded to the two eiforts to establish a nationïil bank. vetoed [y Mr. Tyler, and took eccusii'n to say. tliat hc consid■ered the establishment of such nn institution indispensable for the realoration of the credit. út: Jionör, and the glory of the country. He reférred to the bencfitB of tlie bankrupt law, and tlien to th-3 revenue bill which had juat been vetocd. - He compared the error of Mr. Tyler to that ui Charles I. of England, who was a very conscientious.rcligious man; but hethought he was tbê supreme ruler of the country over which hu was King; and that this misiake biought him to the scaifold. Mr. A. then read irorn a pubhshed letter of Mr. Tyler some exiracts, in which hc :declarcd his willingness to co-operatc with Cougress jf tho niajority of that body would permit - that is, 6aid Mr. Adams, he will hanuonize with the inajority. il ihe majoriiy will harmonize with ?iim. Mr. Tyler had also asserted that each branch of the Government is independent ot cvery otl.er. This Mr. A. denied- the Exccuiive was not independent. Mr. T. had also declared the CoRstitution denied to Congrcss the right to pnssn law wiihout his approval. Mr. A. ehowerl that this was directly in tho faoc of tha: provisión by which any bill niay becdme a law il passed by a two thirds vote, even when the President has returncd f win. -his disapprovul. Ji was a direct assertion of the power potssussed by the King of Grcat Britnin - an absolute nogativc on the liiw of Congress. The Treaty which has been agreed upon wüs brought in to the Sonate, Aug. 11. It wil! probably be confirmed. The House have agreed to adjouin Aug. 2'2; but since the veto every ihing is uneertain. August 12, Mr. Ingersoll moved tosupend tlu rules to enable him to bring forward a new pre ject lor imposing a horizontal duty of ÜO per cem on every thing but railroad iron, which was to remain as at preeent. The motion to.suspcnd was lost- ayes 43- uays 118.
