hitherto aaootcd on this subject as inp-o.

The Speaker chlient 10 ORDER. IL was not
an order to reflect on any previous proceed
ing Of the House.
Mr.. Pearce, resumed.--Iio wished these
claims to b. investigated, like other claims.
If this resolution should pass, the next mo-
ton ofthe condemnation Tennessee would
be, 10 publish these partial statements for
the information Of the world. Who is the
man TO whom common rights and common
privileges are not TO be granted The man
who has fought your battles-who has bled
for YOU ? He fought for you at Trenton
and when stretched on the battle field, wei
tering in his blood, was carried from the
ground BIZ one of my constituents. The
man who has been your ambassador al for
egn courts who wns twice Governor Of
his own State: whose name will live in a :
merican history when marble memorials
shall have mouldered into dust. Would
Won deprive this man of common rights.
which the peanest and most unworthy of
your citizens may demand? If there were
any hostile feelings against him, because Of
disappointed ambition-if there were feel
ings of hungry expectants, who had not
been gratifcd-he hoped they would not
be allowedt to manifest themselves on this
floor.
After further debate. mr.. Cooke moved
TO lay lie resolution on the table.-Ayes,
90; Noes, AZ.
