TDesday. June IS.
The question on the rules Of order was
again taken up.
Mr.. Rayner then took the floor, and re-
marked that he looked for no favor from
that portion Of the House from which he
had right 10 expect il. lie could not
find words to express his feeling at the
system Of tyranny which had been prac-
used towards him BY his political friends,
and he knew that he was indebted to the
courtesy Of those gentleman which his
duty compelled him to oppose for years.
lie regretted that he was placed in his
present position; he was well aware that
they had not come here To discuss section
al questions. This subject had been
thrown upon them; they had been forced
into itby the gentleman Of Massachusetts,,
~. q. Adams. A victory had 10 be
achieved over ihe-Souih before she North
ern members could proceed 10 business.
Mr.. X. said il was not his intention
yesterday 10 occupy the floor more than
twenty minutes, If he had been allowed 10
proceed at tina, time, but now, after wha.
had occurred, he was determined 10 ex-
haust the subject, and he should not Iimi,
himself in his time. Alive minutes past
three o'clock, Mr.. Rayner concluded his
remarks.
The discussion was farther continued
by MIR. Morgan and others, when the
main question was put on the resolution
offered by Mr.. Rayner, which was an
amendment to the resolution of Mr.. Wise,
as amended by Mr.. Adams, and on which
the yeas and nays were ordered, and re-
suited as follows: yeas 90, nays los.
SO the House refused TO adopt the amend
ment.
MIR. Bolts moved the previous question
on the original resolution, rs amended by
Mr.. Adams, striking out the 2ls, rule;
which being sustained. the main question
was put, and decided in the negative
yeas l03 nays 10. So the House re-
fused to re-adopt the resolution Of Mr..
Wise, with Mr.. Adams's amendment.
The house then adjourned.
Wednesday June i6.
Mr.. Stuart, Of Va. offered resolution.
providing that all the rules and orders of
the last House OF Representatives, not SUI
perseded by any resolution adopted at the
present session, be adopted for the lcgis-
lation Of the House for the present ses-
sion; and that the select committee here
toforc appointed, be permitted to revise
and report The rules at any time.
Mr.. Stuart said his object was to Ell
deavor to compromise this great difficulty
which had agitated this house for the last
two weeks. II would be perceived that
this resolution did not undertake to de-
eide one way or the other on this lmpor'
taut question, involving the right OF peti'
ton. Its effect was merely to postpone
tha ,pa.t,,r c,r shn rrasouf session. LII
