oi It's importance aud decide upon its merits caml and dispassionately, and would cheeruly acquiesc Tn whatever disposition the House should make of it
 MT OLIVER, of Conecuh, moved that the memo rla and resolutions be referred to committee ofth' whole House. and made the special order of the day for next Tuesday week, and that 100 copies be print ed for the of the House
 MT kINLEY said, he thought it desirable that the memorial and resolutions should be referred to spe | clal committees that the memorial might possibly re- qu're some convention; if so, ii should be made be- lore It was published, though ho would not make any sPeclie motion upon the subject.
 | Mir BAKER moved to lay the memorial and resou- 'ions on the table, with view of offering resou- tlon to appoint committee on the state of the re- I pubic and union. He urged with much ability, the adoption of the resolution; and if such committee were appointed they would take charge of the me inorai, and report to the House. that portion of the memorial was acceptable to him, but it also enl- Draced sentiments to which he was opposed, which ne conceived were not the sentiments Of the people oi Alaoama; totally opposed to the principles of Jel- lerson and the Republican party. He would there lore oppose the printing of the memoria unless the objectionable sentiments were expunged, as il would otherwise go forth to the world as an expression of the sentiments of the House before had been act ca upon He said the memorial recognised the doc trlne, that the Supreme Court of the United States was Tho only constitutional arber between the Ge-
 
 seven men with power 10 trample upon the liberties of twelve millions of ireemen To such proposi- 'ion, MT BAKER said he could assent and in dnlged The hope that the memorial would notbe print ed unti It adpassed through the ordeal ofthat com mlttee which he had proposed.
 | NIT OLIVER, ot Conecuh, said he could not have supposed that the motion which he had the honor to make, would have been opposed That he believ ed subject of such momentous importance should he referred to a committee of tho whole House that in such committee the rules of the House are relax ed; the freedom of debate is more extended and consequently a more full and ample expression of opinion would be obtained He said as for himself he was now prepared to act upon the memorial with out moments delay; that it expressed his views upon the subjects which it embraced, in the most fervld and glowing language; that he heartily sub scrbed to its doctr3 and that he did not desire the memorial should be changed in solitary idea, or that even d letter should be stricken from it.
 Mir OLIVER, Of Montgomery, said he was of orn- ion the memorial should be referred to a select com mittee; that such would not be dsrespect tul to its author, more especially he had disclam ed any wish as to the disposition which should be made of it. He said, when he heard the document read, 1t detailed in such sprit-strring and eloquent terms the expressions whIchhave been heaped upon us that even his hair stood on end He said he was opposed however to some of it's doctrines especial ly in relation to the powers,'of the Supreme Court that upon this subject he concurred in opinion with the gentleman from Montgomery. He hoped there fore, the memorial would be referred to select con- mittee for the purpose of expunging the objectona hle sentiments and that it would not be printed until it had been made acceptable to every member ofthe House.
 Mir HUBBARD said, he concured with the gentle man from Conecuh that the most judcious and pro- per course to be:pursued would be to refer it to committee of the whole House, and have il printed He desired to read it attenti,ely to examine its sen timen that he was opposed to some of it's doctrines and he would examine the subj ect more thoroughly when he should have obtained printed copy. He said he would also be pleased to see the sentiments Of those who might be opposed to portion of tho memorial in printed form. Then the whole matter could be canvassed with that deliberation which it's importance demanded from the Representatives of the people. He said the composition of the memo rial reflected the highest credit upon the intellect of it's author.
 The memorial and resolutions were referred to committee ofthe whole 100 copies ordered to be printed and made the special order of the day for Tuesday week.
