To-day in the House, the resolution TO

This at FIRST should have been no party
matter, and had the few restless and ma
licious spirits that have kept up con-

put down al first, 10th time and money
would have been saved, and the character
Of the House preserved from the univer-

And we are mistaken if the House will
not find il necessary to rescind the resOlh-

many weeks, or perhaps da, s;-even as
a matter of economy il will be found i'm

In tlie House, yesterday morning. there
was a little touch Of abolition, and The
federalsis were thrown into considerabIe
Of STEW, by the presentation of peti.
ton from some abOlti0nists Of Brown
county, for repeal Of the fugitive law,
Mr.. Dunham, the member who presented
it, moved its reference to the Judiciary
committee. Mr.. Bliss, who is chairman
Of this committee, very properly proles-
ted against such references Both gen.
tlemen seemed disposed 10 getrid of the |
subject; and, after considerable debate,
Mr.. GriswOld attempted 10 throw oil upon |
the troubled waters, and relieve his friend |
from the responsibility, by making mo-
lion to lay the petition upon the table;
which, however, was lost, and it was re-
ferred to the committee on the judiciary.
Neither House sits tomorrow. f
