 Mr. Hamilton, feeling that the resOlu- ton which he had offered was tn danger, opened the dabate. He said there were two methods of hostility tn legislation, the first by open and undisguiSed opposition, which could be met and cOmbatied singly, and the second one opposition by suffoca- ton, by which strangulation was produced by amendments, and by which measures were not defeated upon their merits, but broken down by the amendments ungene- rOusly thrown upon their back. He hop cd the friends of the original proposition would stick by it.

 Mir StorrS spoke against bestowing upon the battle of New Orleans the exclusive honours proposed. He entertained high sense of the honour conferred upon our country by the achievement; but while the battle of New Orleans saved the south- western part of the country, the victories of Erie aud Champlain gave security to the northwestern states, the western and northwestern frontiers of Vermont.

 After some further debate. during which Messrs. Dwight, Everett and Bartlett suc- cessively had the floor,the question was ta- ken on the amendment offered by Mir Storrs and the same was lost, 99 to so. The question was then taken on the amendment offered by Col. Dwight, viz. "to embrace the battles of Bunker Hill, Monmouth and the attack on Quebec" which was also lost 1O7 to 92.

 MT. Everett moved to amend the reso- lution as follows That the committee of the House of Representatives on the Lib rary be instructed the expediency of talk ing suitable measures, at t:;s time to pro- cure series of historical paintings for the empty pannels of the Rotuuda. MT. Ran dolph spoke-but not to the question. His object was to lacerate the feelings of Col. Trumbull.

 MT Bartlett made an animated speech in favor of the amendment-spoke of the ex- ploits of our countrymen at Tripoli, and lsewhere-replied to the efforts to make Jackson the hero of the last war;" to the exclusion of the hard fought fields of Chip pewa and Bridgewater.

 The question on the amendment of Ev- erett was taken, and the same was lost, ,1O5 to87.

 MT. P. P. Barbour spoke ably against the whole proposition and MT. Randolph gave the resolution succession of mortal wounds so that the whole project was final ly rejected, by close vote-ayes 98,noes lOs.
