ly orc Of cxpediency, proposing an in.
vesIigalion into a matter of importance,
and Of as much interest to the coOStitu.
enls OF tho gentleman from Knox, as TO
those of any other member. He thought
the inquiry would certainly do no iniu
~, and hoped the resolution would be
allowed 10 go into efoct without being
met by a motion to postpone.

the motion, If there was a probability
OF a minority being in favor Of it's con.
sideration, and lhereupon withdrew it.

the vote about to DO taken on the reso-
luton, as a test vote, that would settle
the subject for the future.

be M Obolitionist. His purpose in rails
ing a committee was to give the House
an opportunity OF acting on the report
which should be made.

was about 10 give on the motion 10
postpone, 10 be considered as a test Of

present was not q iest vote so far as he
was concerned. lie felt bound TO vote
for raising the committee, as he vas Top
posed to sitting inquiry on any 9uGs
lion, Tho course which the House
should take on the resolution he con :
sldered as not indicative of its after &C.
ton, and with that understanding he
should vote for raising the proposed
committee.
Mr.. Henderson said that an able com
