This resolution was agreed to; but some time afterwards, Mr. PARKER (one of the committee) wished it to be rescinded, as he understood, though the committee from the Senate had concurred in this mode of notifying the VICE PRESIDENT of his election, the Senate would not agree to it, but wished to follow the mode adopted on a former occasion, viz: a message was sent from the House of Representatives to the Senate, directing that the persons elected should be notified in such a manner as they should direct. He wished, therefore, to prevent delay, the resolution might be rescinded and a different one agreed to. This motion occasioned a good deal of conversation. It was observed by the SPEAKER that the resolution was already before the Senate, (where it seemed it was not intended to be sent, as it was a distinct resolution of that House, a similar one to which was proposed for the adoption of the Senate by the joint committee.) It was at length, however, agreed to be rescinded. Immediately after which a message was received from the Senate, informing the House that they had disagreed to the resolution, and appointed a committee of conference. The House accordingly took up the message, and also agreed to appoint a committee of conference. _Compensation to Public Officers._ Mr. PARKER then renewed his motion, and the House resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole on the bill respecting compensations, Mr. MUHLENBERG in the chair; when Mr. PARKER moved to strike out the first clause. He thought it necessary to make some additional allowance to the PRESIDENT, but he would do it in a different way from that proposed. When the present PRESIDENT came into office, he said, he had a quantity of furniture presented him, which might now be nearly worn out, and be of little value. It might be proper, therefore, to purchase new furniture for the gentleman just elected. It would be also during the period of the present Presidency that Government would remove to the Federal City, which would be attended with a good deal of expense to the PRESIDENT. He should wish, therefore, that a provision should be made for defraying that expense, and also for the purchasing of new furniture, but he should be opposed to the making of any addition to the salary at present. Mr. HARTLEY spoke in favor of retaining the clause.
