Mr.. Davis. Mr.. Speaker, I have RI
fen with an intention of bringing before
the Houfe Subject on which ] think it
is our duty to act; and as the fubjeet, to
certain extent, relates to the Speaker,
Ihall endeavour to conduct myielf towards
him, in iuch manner as to injnre his feel
ings as little as the nature of the cafe will
admit, In doing juRice to the rights of
Citizen. But while profefs refpeA for
you as the Speaker. Of the houie, fear of
2 woundr,g. your feelings naall not prevent
me from doing what conceive to be my
duty as public fervant. think it i'm
portant and necefary, that the power of
Speaker Of this houie over citizen Of A
merica fhould be precilely known and un-
deritood. That the Speaker lhould know
'show far he ought to go, and the citizen
know where he ought to FLOP.
e Relieving therefor, as / do, that the
,fpeaker of this Houfe in very recent In
6 fance has exceed his power, and in 70 do
ing has deprived citizen of the United
States of his conieitutional right, by deny
ing him the liberty Of hearing the debates
OF this hou1e, upon queftions of great ma
tonal concern, ] have determined to bring
the iubjsa before the @houie with view
OF obtaining the opinions Of others on it.
tut as almoit all queaions that come be-.
i,re this hcufe afume the fhape Of party,
90 not expect this queaion to be exempt
from party ftl'ngs and party prejudices
But this fhall not deter me from tryingit.
Il gentlemen are not ready or willing to
abandon their party feelings by fair ex-
animation OF a citizens right, it is their
oyrSfault. The fuhjeet that aIlude to
contained ia the following refolution,
TO wit:
Rs<alvrd, That the Speaker of this
nouie, in directing the ferjeant at arms to
order and expel from the gallery Of this
nouie, Samuel Harrifon Smith, citizen
OF the United States, ufurped power not
