conspiracy against the rights of the people,
shall it be concealed? Shall the proceedings
OF the committees be carried ON in the secret
shades of night: and if we claim our right td
attend and witness them, shall we be branded
as spies! The powers of the committee are
derived from the House, and shall they slap the

MIR. FLAGG believed from the circumstances
under which the resolution was offered, that it
was intended TO apply personally to him. The
gentleman from Washington, Mr.. Crary) had
talked of blood. When this country was bleed

his eyes Order, order, was called from various
parts OF the House. The Speaker decided that
MIR. F's observations were personal, and cui Of
order. MIR. f. said he stood corrected, but
contended that the resolutions were tnhreres
dented and unnecessary. They were cacuiaa

and discuss the subject alone. 1.-THE object was
to swarm INTO the Committee room, TO prevent
deliberations, the object Of the resolution, US
not laudable. Gentlemen seem to apprehend
some powder plot. MIR. F. had no such apr.ea
hension. He advefted.t to. the publication Of the
proceedings of the Committee of nine i'm the
Daily Advertiser, which he thought were Gals
culated TO produce an injurious effect. by eys.i.

been refused .admittance. No actual gri, "a, q
had been felt,,and he hoped the resolution woud
not be adoptedsss< !. -
