That they would he sold and the proceeds deposited in tne Imperial 1 rcasiiry, etc. kc Mr. Bibb said it was certainly far from his inten tion to throw any cmbarrasmeut tn the way ot the committee of foreign Relations, blithe was un willing to act e-n this matter without due deliberation, yml therefore moved that the bill and amendments should lie on the table. 1 he subject was not so urgent that one day would be a matter of any great 1 conseonence. Mr. J-'iicn .suid ije had no objection to the mo tion. . Mr. Ootdsbirbugh made a motion to refer it to a committee of the whole House. Mr: Mumfard stated that it was when intention, Speaker, Us in t)J caw; f ; TJkb Speaker believed nr. ' ' ' TU Ulowing V,r.U ofthe constitution was then read by revues: : Congress shall mke no Uw respecting an e. tabushment of reliKton ot prohibiting tltefreeex erc1 thereof or ubridgtpg the freedom of speech, or ofthe pass ; or il e riht of the peiplejeacea b!y to assemble, and to bctiiioa the govemmeut for at redress of grievance. Mr. Battrt sail, though the constitution bad pre scribed a reconvention ofthe bill when returned, the mode of reconside:JUrh was not nreieribed and it might as well "be by reference to a select committee as in ar y other mode. TL bill might perhaps be amended. Of their power to ami-nd it in Its present stage, however, he was not certain. Mr. Smibt conctivt the. constitution preremp- torily to require an immev'.iate decision. Air. Pitkin said, that this question was new to him. He ttad no idea that the constitution preclu ded Congress from passing laws to incorporate re ligious societies for the purpose of enabling them to holJ property, &c He had aiwavs held the con stitution to intend to prevent the establishment of a national church, such as the church of England, a retusal to subscribe to the tenets of which was to exclude a citizen from oiTicc, kc. Desiring time ftr rt (lection; he there fore .wished the bill to lie on the table for further consideration. : r, Pickman said, it apeaied to him that the bill was not an Lii pot taut one, aiefusal to pass which, would be productive of any serious injury ; and yet that a full discussion of the principles it in volved would occupy the whole of the remainder of the session. If two-thirds of the House were to refuse to proceed to a re-consideration, the bill would be ifi3 facta at an end and this he thought wov Id be the Ix-st course, kc. considering all the circumstances- Adjourned. The bill was taken up the next day k rejected fcbrury 21. The bLl supplementary to the non-intercourse law was taken up in committee, discussed, but lie-question taken. February 23.

If, however, after a fair experiment, the powers vested m Uie government snail we louna incompe tent lo the attainment of the objects for which i was instituted, the constitution happily furnishes the mean for remedying the evil by amendment, and 1 have no doubt that in such event on an appeal to the patriotism and good sense ofthe community it will be wisely applied.
