After the reception of some executi, conr,,,
nications, the House resumed the consio at;on &c
the motion of Mr.. Levin, to refer cert, 49, =
lutions Of the Massachusetts Legislature, ,sL;nn &
a revision Of the naturalization laws, to aIaass as
Committee instead of the Judiciary Comm


Mr.. Levin advocated the reference to SSs.
Committee on the ground that the JudcK
Committee are adverse to the prayer of the d
ttioners, and quoted the adage that ga chill
ought not to be put to nurse to those who care
not for it." He spoke of the great importance
Of the subject, and asserted that sooner or later
it must be met.


Mr.. Brodkead, who had moved reference
to the Judiciary Committee, denied that there
was the least evidence that the Committee were
hostile to the resolutions. While other i,npor-
tant interests were referred to standing Commit
tees, what was there in the principles of the Ma
tive American party, that they should be ndulr-
ed with Select Committee? He thought the
House ought not to dignity with a report a sub
ject which was advocated by only six members
out Of 223.


Mr.. Rathbun had no objection to the reference
to a Select Committee. He for one was not dis
posed to crafty a few men who thought they had
made new discovery, by consideration Of the
subject before the Committee on the Judiciary
If gentlemen thought they could nurse their
bantling and make any thing out Of it, let them
have a fair chance---let them have their Com
mittee.


The discussion was continued by Messrs. Ma
clay, Winthrop, Darragh, Campbell, Woodruff,
Payne, Mcdowell, Sims, Dillingham;, Yancey,
Owen, and Giles


The latter Of whom was speaking, when we
left.
