had decided lha such mo'io could lot be re-

l, did not propose to altcra rate Of tax, vet ii
proposed 10 Impose the tax at an caller peri
cd; and i! was, therefore, is 10 parliamentary
practice, 10 be viewed molion to increase
tax; and to entertain such a motion in the
House, before il had been considered in Com
miltee al the whole, would be in violation Of
the l0l>t RUE OF order which says that mo

NV hole House; and SO IN respect 10 the time
OF lis continuance" Now the proposition OF
the gentleman from Ohio was, that, after Janus
AIRY next, duties which had hitherto been bond
| ed, mus be laid in cash. He thought that The
analogy between these TWO cases Was so close
and striking, that lie WAS induced to inquire
ri The Chair, whether such an anendmcnt was
il order? 1t would be reCollcctcd ny the
Speaker, that it wa an amendment which had
not been considered in COmmiHce Of the
Whole
The Chair replied, that he understood II as

MIR. Martin here quoted Mr.. Cambre!eng's

stood 10 be the difference between the later
part Of that amendment, and The proposition
now oif'red by the gentleman FROM OHIO.
Mr. Mallary now quoted the two rules OF Of

which is in the following words:
No motion or proportion Tor tax or
charge upon the People, shall be discussed the
day in which it is made OIL offered, aud
every such rronosilion shall receive its ii st
discussion in a Committee Of the Whole
House" and the one hundred and first rule,
wnicn had been read by Mr. Marin. He con-
tended that This was not proposition 10 alter

WIS the case parallel 20 tina: OF Mr.. C"nclcl.
NJ. Cambreleng con,ended. that the amend

The Speaker stated his impression 10 be,
