and Robert Codd, who ne now in the custody Of the
Sesgesnt-atArms upon charge Of diuorderly conduct
in the presence of the House. be delivered to the
civil authorities to be dealt with according to law.
Resotred That in adopting the preceding resoution
the House not influenced by opinion OF any DEN
cheney of authority in the House TO punish Tor oisoroef
~ conduct in their presence.
Mr. Vanderpoel said he had Of course had hut mo-
ments time to reflect upon the subject now before te
House, but he must confess that Tue u 'e
honorable gentleman from Tennessee, to turn 'nese
transgressors over to the civil authority struck HIM Ia
vorably and if now called upon to VOTE he would vote
for it. And he would do so the more readily because
the second resolution guarded amply against any o.s
ssiHer Of power on our part TO Fun'sh Tor
ish for breach Of the privilege of this House. But be-
had power to do thing it did not follow that
it always wise to it. He thought we would much
better the interest of constituents by at
tending to the various public bills before US, instead Of
entering upon the trial Of these We were now in
the seventh month of our session, and many 1t not
most Of the important bills reported to the ouse were
not finally acted upon. There the fortIhcauon b
the land BILL and the bill to regulate the deposltes IN The
local banks, all Of which yet undisPosed Of and he
thought the interest Of the nation would be better pro-
moied 10y attention 10 these important SUBJECTS IMAM ny
trying these puyitistie gentlemen From the time that
had already been consumed this morning upon the ques
ton whether both should De arrested and from The
knowledge all had of the disposition here 10 talk we
could fairly conclude that this subject, If select
mi,tee were appointed would occupy at least week Of
the precious line of this House. The committee would
report the evidence, the views of gentlemen would con-
ct to the cupabiity of the one or the other, and
upon the question Of guilt there could not fail TO be
protracted debate; but when 10 the qneseson
what punishment we would nfict, there would be still
greater diversity of opinion, and much greater DISPOSE
ion 10 debate In view of this inevitable eonsom ption
of rhe liner IF cole
tee appointed he would for the amendment Of
the gentleIpan from Tennessee.
After further remarks from Messrs. Bell, Lane,
Judson, Mann, of New York, Miller, Speight c. Allan
and Craig,
Mr. Bell withdrew his resolution, and
MIR. Adams inquired by what law or authority It was
that these Individuals were now in custody
MIR Bouldn to ask what the gentleman from
Massachusetts, (Mr. Adams: meant? Did be suppose
that the privileges of the people of ,is country were so
great that their servants and rcSescrtatves'coud
not go on with their business, but that t&e own mem
bers reporters, might GO en- sighting in their
presence and they have right 10 take the offenders
to custody Did he mean that individuals rot members
might raise quarres out of DOORS and more OF
them run into this Hall for protection and not have
power to take them ?-ay hold them? This he snid
imprisonment, not power to pitch them out Of DOORS
not the right given to take then and send them TO JUS
tce of the peace.lf these the privileges OF the
people, they exercised the privilege Of sending IT'S 10 this
House, little to their credit advantage TO themselves
and less to ours-He would have voted for the PROPOSE
ton Of the gentleman from Tennessee, (Mr. Belly and
was sorry it withdrawn. He wished TO get clear OF
had doubt the law would settle the thing very we'll
We had something else to do than 80 try such offenders
He had nothing against either Of than. They had dis
turbed little, and he would be gat to have ao more
trouble with them, or about them.
