draw his motion.
Mr. VINr0N said thatif the State
Of Ohio was 10 be cut of by the
sguiIlotine, he wanted the People Of

cutioners, He, therefore, called for
heayes and noes; which were order.
ed.
The question being taken, there

MICHIGAN AND ARKANSAS.

After a long debate, in which
Messrs. WISE, THOMAS, LEWIS,
CUSHING, ANTHONY. PATTON,
SUTHERLAND, BOULDIN, SPElGHT

MANN, HARDIN and WANDER

Mr. BOON moved the previous sues
ton.
The House refused 10 second the

The debate was continued by

Mr.. WISE modified his motion so
asto commit both the bill for the ad
mission Of Michigan, and the bill for
the admission OF Arkansas, to the
Committee of The Whole on'the state
of the Union, with instructions tO'in
corporate the same 10 oneblII.
The debate was continued by
MeSsrs. PATTON, LEWIS, WIN.
TON, BYNUM, THOMAS, MER
GER, and BRIGGS.
Mr.. BRIGGS asked a division Of
the question, and saidrhe was in favor
of committing both these bills. They
proposed 10 admit two new States into
this Union, These were measures Ol
the greatest moment. The impor-
lance Of the questions involved pre-
Sents the strongest reason Tor their
commitment, where they may have a
full and ample discussion.
The bill for The admission Of Ar.
kansas, tits admitted by all sides OF
tho House, must be committed, as il
creates the Offices OF judge and mar
shsl, with salaries attached 10 them.
There is no direct appropriaton'io This
bill; but, as il provides for the appoint
ment of officers, who, if the law goes
into effect, mGst be paid out Of the
public ireasury,it creates a charge
upon the Treasury, and requires com
mitment.
lie believed by The spirit Of The
rules Of this House the bill for the ad
mission of Michigan should be COM
mitted. fit becomes law, that
State will send her Senators and Rep
TeSenlAlives 10 this Congress, and they
must be paid out Of the public Ireasu
ry. The charge upon the treasury is
as direct end inevitable in the one
case 40 in the other. The amount to
be paid to theserepresOntatiVes is es
4sblished by e general law, aud when
The State is admitted they will have
the same claim for their pay, for
snilesge and attendance, as HE pres
ent members Of Congress hsve. This
vas 0 reason which be had not heard
Srged for the commitment Of this bill
but he believed, If gentlemen would
give their attention to II, they would
como 10 the same conclusion that he
was brought TO, lie would not raise
the question Of order, bat desired TO
bring The subject to the notice Of the
House, in the hope thatit would in'
fluence their vote, lie asked for 9
division Of the question, that the vote
might Grst be taken on the commit
msDt, and then on The instructions.
The discussion was further conhn
ued by Messrs. BELL aud ANTHO
NY, when
