No fire imno, sedi-no sentence. requiring him to Fs imprisoned.! The farce is to tcrminais ina simple reprima'd. When Mr.As cher of Virginia, discovered low iha affair was about 10 terminate, he saa s.he thought the majority of tho Hou,s had solcmnly asserted the power of r. limited puhislin5eht,a and that thev were now '" creeping out of lhe eopse. quenees of that deeision.'1 He added. "The penalty proposed might be propcr for m idle school-boy~=but in this case il was altogether childish.

 What will the people say of the result of this protracted trial, which has cost them about one Auadrcd Housanddollap9 What will thcysay oftho majorityo oflhe House, who, after treating Coy.

It willie conceded on all hands, that the naof- Fity felt that they had engaged in l.azar- dous busncss-that they were aSeato transcend theirpowers and eonsummaic m odiousact Of tyranny and orpressior, When convinced of this, they shrulk from the responsibility of the measure they had contemplated--or in other terms, thcir courage faiie dt d tIlt tIlt IT, ata a they failed, of course, toploythc gda' oaa.
 After Pronouncing him guilty, and drectingthe Speaker to reprinoad hin, the resolution of Mr. Huntington, which was intended 10 exclude Gov. Houston from tine exercise of the privilege os entering the Hall of the House and as sociating withthe members whilein ses' sion, was rejectede He was thus pro- nounced, by majority of the House, an honorable man, worthy of the assos ciation of its members.
