ExPUNGING RESOLUTIONS.

The "Expunging Resolutions" from
the House were then taken up
Mr., Newell said if 1t vas the intention
Of the friends of those resolutions, to pass
them, it was his wish that as little time
as possible, should be wasted in the dispo
sal Of Them, he woulG therefore move that
they be made the special order for Mon
day next.
Mr, Patterson said It was not his De
sire to hurry the action upon, or to give
any cause of complaints 10 those who
were opposed to them. 1t was his wish =,
as the subject which they embraced was
an important one, that it should have due
consideration, and he would prefer that
they go through the usual course with
the other business.
Mr. Newell said he aad no objection:
he was not tenacious on the sub biect, and
he would withdraw his motion.
The resolutions were then made the
general order of the day.

2. ResolUed, That the Senator'S repre-
seuti0g IN Congress this State be and
are hereby instructed and required to vote
for the expungIng of the resolution afore
said, from the journals ofthe Senate.
And the same was adopted by a vote
similar 10 that on the first resolution, ex'
cept that Mr.. Craighill, who was absent,
when the first resolution was passed, was
present now and voted in the affirmative;
and Mr., Winship, who voted for the first
resolution was absent when the vote was
taken on this,
The question then being on agresing
to the third resolution: which reads as 70!
lows, viz:
8. ResoIped, That we believe the right
of instruction one of the fundamental
principles Of a representative government
and essentially necessary 10 the purity
aud stability of our republican institu.
tions; and that in case the agents fthe
people are unable to obey the instructions
oftheir respective constituents, it is their
solemn duty, 10 resign the power intrust
ed them into the hands Of those who gave
it,
Mr.. Morris moved to amend it by ad'
dinga proviso declaring that nothing in
the resolutions should be so construed as
to prevent the Hon. Thomas Ewing from
appearing, at any future day, on the floor
of this House in his own defence, or
from entering on the Journals OF this
body his protest against these resolu-
tions.
Mr.. Gushing suggested that the amend
ment be modified SO as to include the
name Of The Hon Thomas Morris, for it
was by no means, certain that he would
submit TO what had been done, to day.
The modification was accepted by the
mover Of the amendment, and the amend
mcnt was then put to vote and rejected

The third resolution was then agreed
to, The only difference 5etween The votes
on it and of the second, being, that
Messrs, BentIy, Bostwick, Goldman Hunt

son, who voted against the second resolI
ton, voted for this, makingvit-yeas II
nays So.
The fourth resolution (Which requests
the Governor TO transmit copies TO our
Senators in Congress, and TO The Presi
dent and Vice President of the United
Slates,) was agreed to without divi-
sion.
The question being now on agreeing to
the fifth (and last) resolution, it was reat
as follows:
5. ResoIUed, That in consideration o
The distinguished relation In which the
Hon. Thomas II. Benton, one.of the Set
ators in Congress from the State Of Missol
ri, stands 10 tho subject Ofthe foregoing
resolutions, the Governor of This State be
also requested to transmit copy Of these
resolutions to that Senator.
