lies on the table. The cummtttee ot prtvt- ss
]vgct and elections have reported theevt
dcncc in the cure of ]ohn Mckcon, With a
resolution that the " evidence addu'ced'in

laid on the table for the sake _0f invrstiga

Mr, Otcyct moved to amend the resolution

Some debate ensued ;. thessamendment
was suppozssed by Messrs. Otey and Black

and Preston (R.) Ail exchtimed against'j
the immoraht'y of the conduce of John Mc *
Kcon—the firat thought that this conduct :
deserve;- :;si-sipuision; the doubt with their
oppoccnts is, whether a precedent set in this
case would not_sh;tke the pillars ofthe con
' etitution—ctctwhether as various standards of
