the Appropriation Bill.
Mr. Lyons said the Ministerial tactics were to
place things in their worst and improbable light, to
work upon the minds of native members, for the
purpose of carrying their points. If the independence of the Kingdom were in a false position, it
well becomes us to labor to place it on its proper
basis, and not continue on in the spirit of bitter opposition. On motion of Mr. Lyons, the ayes and

Noes, 10.
On motion of Mr. Hitchcock, the Committee rose,
to sit again on Wednesday, and the House adjourned.
