Saturday, January 19.
Another member, to wit, from New York, Barent Gardenier, appeared, and took his seat.
Bank of the United States.
Mr. Sawyer called for the order of the day on the unfinished business of yesterday—the bill continuing the charter of the Bank of the United States.
[The first section had been struck out in Committee of the Whole, and the bill reported to the House, and the question now was upon concurrence with that vote in committee. On that question the debate was renewed in the House, and, of necessity, the same ground gone over which had been trod in committee, and still more extensively. Finally the vote was taken, and the concurrence carried by one vote! so close was the contest in both Houses—in the Senate the question decided by the casting vote of the Vice-President—in the House, by one vote. The following were the yeas and nays:]
Yeas.—Lemuel J. Alston, William Anderson, Ezekiel Bacon, David Bard, William T. Barry, Burwell Bassett, William W. Bibb, Adam Boyd, Robert Brown, William Butler, Joseph Calhoun, Langdon Cheves, Matthew Clay, James Cochran, William Crawford, Richard Cutts, John Dawson, Joseph Desha, John W.
