Mr.. Halves thought his friend By
mum quite correct. He then went in
to an explanation. The paper, which
he had characterized 40 grossly false,
was not the work of a member as such,
nor vast published here,nor by order
| or at the expense Of government. The
gentleman might not know its charac.
ter, for, although he had signed, he
might not have written it. For his
own part, Halves did not think Smith
had written it, but some fnnctionary
in the Post Office Department. He
put it to the gentleman to say whether
he was the author, aye or nos
| The Chair, with prudent activity,
quickly interposed, and prohibited the
putting of this searching question !!
/ Wise, always on the alert, and al
ways prompt in action, started up, and
besought the House, to allow the gen.
I.tleman to answer this exceedingly mo-
mentous inquiry. Unanimous consent
was required. One Of the slaves OF
the Albany Regency objected.
4 Wise-"Enough! | am satisfied
if the gentleman from New York OBJ
ljects-the question is answered I"
j / wish could give you an idea OF
the tones Of sarcasm and Ioathing, 10
which these words were uttered.
4 The question then recurred on sus-
tanning the decision of the Chair. Mil.
Ter, Of Pa, an oficious person, talked
some nonsensical Interchangeable
question was again put. Wise asked
what the Objectionable words were ex.
aclly. The Chair grew indecorously
petuIant and angry, and told Wise he
might reduce them to writing himself.
The Virginian "sympa.hizing with
\ the embarrassmen of the Chair" did
SO. Some irregular and noisy conyer-
sation took place between the Speaker
and various members, who wished to
!, be heard. Wise read aloud the words
he had written. Halves said they were
not correct. Mr.. Grennel read his
version, which was accepted by the
, delinquent as embodying the substance
. of the offence. The Chair, on this
version, pronounced his decision that
. the gentleman was out of order, and
was about TO put the question, when
Smith rose, and hoped the gentleman
might proceed. 1t would be shewn,
that the gentleman himself was false.
Here his voice was drowned by posi-
tive yells of ssorder /! order l''--the
, entire Hall resounded with theni-the
greatest excitement was raised ia an
Instant 1.-THE Speaker was driven be-
yond all patience, and bawled oul

must insist on preserving the rules.
The question is, shall the. decision Of
the Chair stand as the judgmep.. q

motion was then made ara carfied,ha
the gentleman from Kentucky shoule
be allowed 10 proceed. And the scene
