MIR w c JOHNSON, after some appropriate re-
marks IN relation TO The necessity of providing rules
Tor the government u the House. submitted a reso
luton providing that the rules and orders Of the last
Congress be adopted until action shall be had on
the report of the Select Committee on the Rules
which was made at the close of the last session.
MIR ADAMS said he was not willing to vote for
me reso ulOn, unless the 2lst rule relating TO abo-
Iition papers, should be struck out. He concluded
by offering an amendment to that effect.
MIR FILLMORE hoped the House would see
The Importance OF adopting some rule for its govern.
ment, before II proceeded to discuss the exciting
topic OF abollilonsm. For If this were not done
mere was strong probability of renewal OF the
scenes OF eNciIemen, and disorder of past times lie
trusted that the rules Of the last Session would be
temporarily adopted, until the report Of the Com.
mIitee on the rules should be disposed of.
Mr. STANLEY moved to amend by striking out
the resolution OF MIR Johnson and inserting in lieu
thereof resolution providing that the rules and
orders OF the last session shall be observed for if
teen days, u the report of the Committee shall not
be sooner disposed Of Also, that the report of the
COMMITTEE be printed and made the special order
for to morrow. MIR. 5. then moved the previous
question.

alton TO the parliamentary rule, as applicable to
