in repIy to those who had spoken a
. gsinst it. He invoked those. whom,
| ,he resolution, as i. now stood, did not
please, to say explicitly what would
please them, it having been decided by
a large majority that the restriction OF
last session was out of the question.
Mr.. Smith Of Md. spoke briefly W.
on orc point of the resolution which
lad been particularly objected TO.
MIR. Pinckney of 6. {. then took
the aoor, and delivered a SPEECH OF
some length, in support OF the absolute
right Of Missouri tn admission into the
Union, under the constitution, which
he pronounced TO be the most Republl-
can and best Constitution in the world,
being in many respects preferable t"
the Constitution of any one OF the
States OF this Union.

Wednesday, february II.
On motion of Mr.. Clay, and by general
consent, it was determined that the rem.
hers of this house should receive the senate,
! on their entrance into the house, standing
and uncovered. In the manner, il was de-
termined that sufficient number Of seats
on the right hand of the chair, should be set
apart for the senator's
Mr.. Clay moved that committee of two
members be appointed 10 receive the Sc
nate, and conduct the President of the Sc
nate to the chair, and the members to the
seats assigned to them.
MIR. Nelson, Of Va. declared bis OPP
position to this course. 1t had never
heretofore been done. 1t had been
usual for the speaker of the house to
receive the president of the senate, land
invite him to seat beside him; and lie
saw no reason, at that time, for the
proposed Innovation.
Mr.. Clay said it was true it never
had been done before; but having,
whilst he had the honor to preside o.
yer this house, witnessed the sembar-
rassment occasioned by the want of
such a regulation, he now thought it
would be proper to adopt it.
The motion of MIR. Clay was then
agreed to without a division, though
nut without negative votes.
Mr. Clay and Mr.. Hill, of N. FL.
were appointed committee according
ly.
Soon after, the Senate came into the
hall, preceded by its President, and at
tended by its Secretary and Sergeant
at Arms; and the President was con-
Quoted to the Speakers chair, the
Speaker occupy ing chair at his left
