qreat pains TO get the power oi the couh'
= into their hands. / fuPpoie the lame
pains are now to be taken, b creating a
msiori,y by artificial means.
l only roie, however, 70 lay one wofo
as to this being conGiefsd as the reioia.l
on Of the genlIyman from Penniyivania.
The centle.nsn from kentucky has told
US that it is an affair Of compliment TO
fufftr refolulion offered by particular
member to ref until called up by him.
| confefs that, however difp fed may be
in perional intercoude 70 ooicrve !uch rules,
| am not here dllpoisd 10 ohlaryc compli-
ment at the expence OF duty. In this
cafe there was peculiar reaton fos the
call. The gentleman who originally Of
fered the rcfolution gave notice OF his IN
tention TO Gail it up on liked day. That
day has gone over without any call. We
fee the houfe daily waiting in numbers.
We with fair deciGon, one made by the
a,hole votes of all t!.- members. Gen
tlemen therefore cannot complain OF our
doing, what they recommend, that - 10
Rudy our own convenience They Eel
dom Audy oars, and if we did not fudy
our own, it is probable that. it would be
but little regarded. But what am TO
underfand when the gentleman from Ma
ryland (Mr. S. Smith, talks ofhls major
ty. Does he mean that the gentlemen
on my left 1.-THE greater number OF the re-
publican membe:s fit on that ilde) VIII
vote for il barely becaufe he means 10 vote
for it. | mutt believe thofe gentlemen
in voting on this quefion will exerclie the
independents powers of their own minds,
will follow the dictates oftheir own Judg
men,s, and be at,nated by patrlotifm as
honorable, and motives as pure as thoie
OF the gentleman himlelf.
Mr.. S. Smith. However the gentle
man from Delaware may not have under
food our convenien {, he has lilewn that
he underi}ands his own, by putting words
in my mouth which ! never uttered. |
never fad the majority of this houie was
my majority. The rea!on why laid ma
jority was favor 0 he amendment, ap-
pears from the journals of the lalt iellion,
on which the faet appears by the votes OF
two thirds of the members in favor OF It.
I, would ill become me TO talk OF any
majority. 1t would be pre(umption in me
to hold that language. Gentlemen
with whom | generally act. know me
better and themfeives. | did, however,
FAY that il fuited The convenience of this
houfe 10 make the buhnels which they had
TO tranad, progrefs in Their own way,
and not according to the convenience OF
the gentleman from Delaware. / conf
aered that luficient explanation; and if
thele remarks were thoie for which the
gentleman obtained leave to fpeak third
time, he might have fpared himfelf the
trouble. / am not averfe to taking up
shis Gubjed at proper time bot ] mutt
Object to forcing il into the place OF other
buGnefs, tina, according TO the ufual
courie OF proceeding, ought 10 take pre-
cedence.
