SENATE.
Mr. Hayne, of South Carolina, pursuant to the notice he gave on Monday, asked leave to introduce "a bill to establish an uniform system of Bankruptcy throughout the United States."
Perhaps, he said, he owed an apology to the Senate for urging upon it, thus early in the session, a bill of such interest and importance. When, near the close of the last session, he reluctantly acquiesced in the postponement of the bill, he pledged himself to take the earliest opportunity of again bringing it before the Senate. That pledge he now redeemed. The bill which he now presented, was the same which was under consideration last session. A number of amendments have been offered to it, and he would not himself say that it was incapable of improvement. But he had thought it best to introduce the same Bill, in order that the Senate might first consider its essential principles and leading provisions; after which, the several amendments might be taken into view. In conclusion, he observed that the friends of the bill had a right to demand for it an early and serious consideration. Much zeal and spirit had been manifested in favour of the measure, and the commercial feeling and interest of the country was, every where alive to its importance. The time had arrived when an uniform law in relation to bankruptcy would be acceptable to the people at large, as a measure conducive to the best interests, and promotion of the character of our country.
Leave being granted to introduce the bill. it was read once, and passed to a second reading.
A Message was received from the House of Representatives, informing the Senate that the house had passed the following resolution in which the concurrence of the Senate was requested.
Resolved, That two Chaplains of different denominations, be appointed to Congress during the present session, one by each House, who shall interchange weekly.
The resolution being read :
On motion of Mr. Hayne it was
Resolved, That the Senate will, on Friday next, proceed to the election of a Chaplain, on their part.
On motion of Mr. Harrison, of Ohio, the Senate then adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
On motion of Mr. Condict, of New-Jersey, the several standing Committees were ordered to be appointed.
On motion of Mr. Lathrop, of Massachusetts, the House then resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union; Mr. Condict in the Chair.
The subject before the Committee being the President's Message,
On motion of Mr. Lathrop, it was
