The House has been occupiec] chiefly with the nppropriatlon I.ÜI. Butns a specimen of the manner of spendinga part of ïlic limr, we extract the following from the debate on Bott's resolution for a select committe to investigue Mr. Spencer's chnrge, tliat the leading Whigs told Mr Tylor :hat f he would not dismiss ihe Harrison cabinct, they would postpone iheseeond bank bill. Mr. Botts - My collengue says that the onc written by a respectable letter writer, charging one mernber with corruption, icos a qucstlon oí privilege: but becr.use this was written by John O. Spencer. Secretary of War, and charges half Congress wiih corruption. it is not a question of privilege. [Great Laughter ] Mr. Wise - Thu's the trentment ihnt I generally receive at my coüeague's liands. Mr. Botts- You sh ili receivo fuir justice, sir. of "order." i;order. " Mr. Wiso denied thnt .lita remarks ndmitted the interprewtion given to ihem by Mr. Bytts. Mr. Bous - I wil! not be imerrupted. Mr. Wisc snid I13 should interrupt hitn ns oftcn ns be niisreprcsentcd an! perverted what lie said. Mr. Botts - Does my colleague mean to Bay that I dt.'sifinedly did so. Mr. Wise - I can't enter nto the gentleman's designs, 6r; I can only say ihat if he had willfully designed to misrepresent what I s-id, he could not more eflcctunlly have done so. [Itonrs oí Lnuírhter.] Ii was a common thing to charge a pany with corrnption. Mr. Botta said that the c'inrgj in Mr. Spencer's letter was n gross calumny, come from where ie might; and if there had been any such b:irgain he should like to have the High Commissioner thereof hrought to the floor of the House and punished. Mr. Cushi.ig [laughing nnd in an under tone,] offer n resoïution to that effect. [Great laughter and encs of ''order," and confusión J The Speaker said he had indulged both gentlemen too much. Mr. Wise - I uever want nny indulgenco of the kind frorn the Speaker, (Great laughter) and I ncver get it.
