Mr. Kvy suggested : question of order,
on the ground, that the eonvojing system'
contained in the two last sections, was be
fore the house in a hill reported by Mr.

& that therefore the house ought not to re

Before this question was decided by the

ol'his amendnirnt but the two first; and
moved that they, together with the bill as
itcume from the senate, be com mitted to

turing its provnsious.
Mr Gardsi-nier was apposed both to the a
mendineucs and the commitmcnt. In the
course of'his observations he was severul
times called to order, and the chair having
decided that he was not in order, he sat
gown, and when attempting to proceed in
is argument. the Sncnker decided thsiit he
had no prioriiy—lrom which decision an
appeal was taken and the drcision of the
't'ltztir was confirmed by a large inujority.—
After which Mr. Gardenier proceeded
to finish his observations, which he did in
