A little breeze las disturbed the Guinness &C the
House Mr. Bell and Mr peyton have pressed up.
or Mr. llamer. the witness under examination the
question whcihe-, from his knowledge Of the zen
timeuts of the members Of the House, the chief
object Of the majority Of the House IN voting for
ibe nuaigument of the responder. was not TO
bring before the House aud the world the cream
stances attending the occurrence IN the Commit
zee room. MIR NJ keon objected to The question,
as irrelevant and calculated to lead 10 III feeling
N the H,use. Though he himself voted ecninst
the whole procedure. we; he objected To calling
iu'9 question the motives OF those who dad vote
,or 70.
NJ Pryton said it was The object of his inter.
rogatory to expose the shameful fraud practscd
upon tho House by those who brought the pro-
tessed accused, but real prosecutor here and aid
hin with their counsel aud assistance IN the pro
sccuton. HIS object was TO prove the existGnco
# combination ola disgracefOl conspiracy be-
'ween the accused and his CONDUCTORS in this
Iouse.

woqld Ike to hear the names Of the conspratoro."
so would - cried Mr. Claiborne "and ] -
land ~ cried several other members 'And

erous voice, "woud like To know their names
and well know them" If the House do not
shrink from the Investigation they have begun If
icy dare to stand up TO II J will have the names
and the facts too" IL will prove that il was de-
termned, in caucus. to put two members by
stealth and fraud, theif trial before the House
and the country" The speaker again reminded
tho genilemnn ihot 1t was not in order to reflect
upon The conduct Of members. But Mr. Peyton
proceeded 10 state that he expected TO prove,-if
he should be allowed to examine wi,nesses,-and
he minated that he should examine great ma
ny,-,hat this proceeding got up by an a.
greement between Reuben NJ. Whitney, and d.
vers members his coadintors IN this House.
The proceeding, he would show, was instituted
not for the purpose of protecting or censuring the
respondent but to hold up himself and the gentle
man. his friends. from Virginia (Mr WISE 10 the
Indignation Of the country, for contempt" of
Reuben NJ. Whitney. Gentlemen he said, need
not be so hasty. They would have time enough
to exhibit their constituencies. Before he was done
with this business he would make some gen, le-
men who now held their heads so proudly, appear
in their true colors as the associates aud abettors
of II. NJ. Whitney. AZ members aud as men, the
gentlemen could no: shrink. In pursuit Of
his object. he should go through, he cared not
what ordeal here or any where.
The question was then stated by the Speaker
i. e., whether the witness should answer the in
terrogatory and, there being but few members
present. call of the House was ordered and
being persisted in for n short time when, it be.
ing late, the House adjourned. SO ends the sec
ond day Of Whit1ey's trul. Before it il over.
you will hear Of few fights and funerals ;--fI do
not greatly msanprehend the tendency of some
movements which have noticed.
