OUTRAGE AND DESPERATION. With
the exception OF the act BY which New Jersey
was disfTanchizcd OF her right OF representation
IN the House OF Representatives., by a majority
OF that body, the present session, perhaps no.
thing (says The Baltimore Pairio) that has
'ranspired for months, can so plainly show the
desperation OF the spoilers. and their utter disre-
gard Of precedent aud principle, when either
come IN their way, as the vote in the House on
Tuesday, by which "rule Of the House" Of
fly yeGs siInding, was abolished for the mere
purpose OF giving the Van Buren, majority COM
pieie control Of the proceedings, subjects, and
time Of The House, under all cireumsianess.-
For hfiy years, or since the adoption Of the pre-
sent Constitution, the rule that ''no rule should
be Suspended exceP, by vote OF two thirds OF
the members present." has seen in heathfuI ope-
ration. But this rule, adopted, as Is said, in
1870, and in force ever since. il found To oder
some restraint or impeachment to the dark purpo-
ses Of Van DereEism, and IL has therefore been
reseinded Nv The vote Of q maddeneG majority.
"A majority" will nov, therefore, possess alb
soiute power in the House Of Representatives;
and By the further help OF the previous question,
we may now anticipate that the Sob-Treasury
scheme, will be pushed through the House, and
forced upon the people. I. was probably with
4 special view to the accomplishment OF this
purpose, the passage OF this Sub.Treasury bill,
that the time-honored "rnle" has been trampled
under foot by the Administration party The
only consolation &c the people, in view OF such
high-handed and desperate acts is, that The rule
Of the party which PerpetraIe them is fast draw
