The Speaker answered that they had not; and
that il was out of the power of the Chair to COM
pei members TO vote, without some action by the
House

earnestly solicited by sc,eralol his friends around

point of order.

Now, who does not know the dilemma in which
the resolution placed the democrats THE
scme as that which recently passed." "wilh the
exception" Sc. Who does not sec the trick in
this Iflhc democrats Ind voted for Mr. Fill
morcs resolution they would have been bound TO
sustain all the rest of the Tariff bill with tho out
ragcous lax on sit--ihc outrageous tax on com
mon silks-,hc outrageous lax on pins and needles
aud the rate a, which coarse wool is allowed TO
come into the country, which rate it is admitted on
all hands is no protection at all to our larmcrs.-
The first great objection of the democrats has been
the distribution and tea and coffee tax feature
bul many Of them said they would lay aside all
the other odous features of the Bill and go for il,
If they would leave out the dis,ribution-A AND
SO THEY DID! But others would not pledge
themselves Internationally to vote for a bill to sus-
tain the tax on salt, &c. MS they must have done
had they supported Mr. Fimores Resolution. If
the vetoed Tariff Bill had contained n declaration
of war, the democrats who voted for Fillmore
resolution would have been obliged to have sup
ported it, fol by voting for the resolution, they
voted to sustain Tariff bill the same as the one
vetoed, except only distribution aud the tax on
tea and coffee! Mr. Fillmore ancw and so did the
wings tina, the democrats both in the House and in
the Senate had opposed various features Of the
Bill. such as the inadcquacy Of the protection on
wool, the salt tax, &c. and ncould not vote for his
resolution and further he kaCw That some forty or
my uhig' wouM not cote for il, and FURTHER he
haCm il wOnid not pass because il H.1D BEEN
DIFFERENTIATED IN VINO C.qUCUS

took at the yeas aud nays! 1t has been cried by
the wings, why i the democrats arc in favor Of
Tariff don't enough Of them JON with the wings
and pass one A potion of The democrats, G. J.
Ingcrsol X. ID. Davis aud others said, if the wings
would strike out the distribution feature, they
would do 50, waving their other objections to the
bill, and see! did they not fulfil their promises J?
You lind the names Of these men among the ycas,

Mr. 7yic wouH rcio their bHH Now, then the
democrats fulfilled their PROMISES; they gave
the wings enough 10 counicrba'ancc their south

BILL .a.N'D DEFEATED II?! Nothing on
earth can show up The hypocracy Of the wing par
ly in Congrcss equal Ia this las, contemplate trick
Of theirs. If il does not show the people Of this
State the rolcnncss, desperation, and rcchlcsncss
Of whisgcry, we don't know what will.
TO show
That Mr. Fillmore did not expect the resolution he
introduced To pass mind tina; he said he introduced
il COMFY for the purpose of lcslin, the sense Of
house" (nol expecting il 10 pass Is the inlcrcncc)
and, ~ if that manner of Introducing il was not
sufficient to show that the resolution was not To
pass, he ad,iei me- WOULD NOT VOTE
FOR IT HLAiSELF Here then, is rcsou-
lion introduced, under such circumstances rcso-
luton that il was determined in causus should not
pasta resolution that the mover declared he
would not vote for--a resolution that between for
ty and fifty wings always profcsscd, declared and
supposed, to be in favor ola tariff voted against &
its defeat Is charge upon the dcmocrais--alIhough
sufficient number Of them voted for i, to carry il,
If tho wings had voted as they were pledged to
vote! The fact il, Inc whole course Of the wings
on the a' has been one of the lowest trickory that
could lie dc,.cd. They have forced The democrats
into oil sorts Of "lAc5" and corncrs--thry have
Sc, all sort, Of traps for them and devised all sorts
