WASHINGTON, Monday, Juno ii.
For the space Of nearly sic hours, MIR. Wise
AhC lioubo VII bilO hiOtioh VI i'A' "a
nance, TO reconsider tho vote adopting tho rules
| Of tho last House, and appointing . committee
Of revision thereon. His entire speech was d.
rected to the subject Of Abolition. Most OF it
was familiar to me and to many others acquaint-
cd with the history of the last three Congress-
es. And do not know Of any process by which
| can extract from it any thing Of especial in.
terest or Importance.
After he had concluded speech which some
| well judging gentlemen began to think would
never be brought to close, the Previous Cues
ton was applied ; and, under its operation, the
vote ,oas re-consiiered by yeas lO6, nays lOi.
The effect of this proceeding is to throw us
back again precisely where we were on Monday
the MiriYfra day Of Nay Once again We are
cast upon the doubtful and Inefficient provisions
Of the Parliamentary Law, which means one
thing or another, or nothing at oil, as dissat.
sficd and turbulent set Of men may choose to
make it. In other words 1--WE are in = state Of an
archy as complete as was over experienced in
the days Of the New Jersey controversy. II Is
no use to disguise the fact-ior 80 il 10.
n The aggregate vote on tho reconsideration
was 2lO, shelving list Of thirty-two absentccs
| -some ofthcm were ranked among our best
, friends, and ought to have been in their seats.
. The reconsideration brought the House back
TO the original resolution providing for the adj
appointment of committee to revise and report
upon them. In lieu of this resolution, the fol
lowing substitute was moved by Mr.. Rayner, q
member from North Carolina
Resolved, That the standing rules and orde1
Of the last House of Representatives, be adop
t ted as the rules and orders fths House for thu
; 9th Congress provided that this House viii
t not consider any subjects at the present Session
except such as are embraced in the President
y Message and that all petitions and memorials
!, on all other subjects receivable under the rule
and orders aforementioned, shall be laid OF
: the table without reference or consideration.
II And this is the first question under consider
= alton Tomorrow morning.
Connected with this, and at the very root O
1t, lies still graver question, whether by thu
vote of reconsideration above mentioned, all tn
} appointments Of all the standing and select con,
d mi,teos, vtiated and annulled. The point wa
! raised this evening by MIR Dotts a membe
n from Virginia, who informed the Speaker tina
}. he had been notified to attend, Ms 4 member G
ih meeting Of tho Committee of ways an
: Means, tomorrow, and who wished to kno,
j. whether, under the new state OF things the ex
g istence Of that Committee had not ceased.
The speaker declinedto meet tho interroga
tory, on the ground that it was not put in tho OF
