Mr. McLane, from the committee of ways and means, asked to be relieved from the further consideration of a memorial of the Columbian college, which was granted.
Mr. Sloane, from the committee on elections, in obedience to a resolution of the House, directing an inquiry whether a decision against the claim of John Bailey to a seat in this House, would affect the validity of the election of any other member, made a report, only referring to the case of Mr. Forsyth, and in which they requested to be discharged from the farther consideration of that subject: and they were discharged accordingly.
The House then resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the union, Mr. Condict in the chair, on the bill "to amend the several acts laying duties on imports:" and the question still being on Mr. Fuller's motion, to strike out the duty of 12 cents per cwt. on bar iron. The debate of Saturday was resumed.
The question recurring, on Mr. Fuller's motion, to strike out the duty, it was decided in the negative—ayes 54, noes 85.
When the committee rose, and, having obtained leave to sit again—
The House adjourned.
