scrP'ion-It was day, for taking questions aud re-.
cording the votes Of the members. -
The Debate turned principally, on Tuesdays IL had
done the previous day, on points Of order. Mr.. Mer-
Ger was anxious 10 take The question on Messrs Cor
don's and Upshurs RESOLUTIONS combined The other
side insisted upon division Of The questionable Mer-
Ger seemed 10 think, that The combined proposition
could not carry mJority Of the House.--Those whs
opposed his motion, insisted upon taking the question
separately upon each proposition and they finally pre-
vailed-Mr. MERGERS resolution for permitting the
Chair TO pntihe question upon the combined resoIu-
fiOns being rejected by majority Of about 0.-The
committee then rose, in order TO report to the House.
Yesterday The House proceeded TO act upon the a.
