Congress. No business of public im
portance has been transacted in either
House for some time what has been
done is mostly of a private or local na
ture. In the House of Representatives,
on the 20th inst. Mr. Floyd moved to
consider his resolution for adjourning
on the 8th of April; but the proposition
was negatived by a vote of 102 to 6S.
We learn from the National Intelligen
cer, that on the 18th instant
"Mr. HALL presented a me
morial from certain of his consti
tuents, praying the aid of Con
gress in removing certain obstruc
tions to the internal trade of the
State of North-Carolina. In of
fering this memorial, Mr. H. said,
1 have this morning received a
memorial frbni a portion of my
fellow citizens of the third Con
gressional district of North-Carolina,
which I have the honor to
represent here. This memorial
is of the same character with sev
eral others which I have present
ed, and had referred to the appro
priate committee. The memorial
has in view, an object which in
volves a principle that is inconsis
tent with my notions of the con
stitutional powers of this Govern
ment. It is perhaps not known
to those persons, that I have con
stitutional scruples upon this sub
ject. Standing here, as their Re
presentative, it is my duty to serve
as a line of communication to this
body, by which their wishes or
views may be made known. Hav
ing performed that duty, I deem
ed it proper (lest by doing so I
might have been misunderstood,)
to state that the object of the me
morial stood, in point of constitu
tional principle, upon the same
ground with a bill brought into
this House, for making appropria
tions for Internal improvements.
I have insuperable objections to
the whole principle of that bilJ,
and of the system of Internal Im
provements; and shall, therefore,
when that bill comes before the
House, in justification to myself
for the vote I may give upon that,
or any similar uronosition. move
to strike out the first section of
the bill."
