So ii passed in The ailiratiye
], was really laughable 10 see into what Il pickle
the lords Of the House were thrown by this demo-
cratic resolution of the old Farmer of I.amoillc.-
1t was so muniesly Republican on its introduction
that none but the bluest of the blue dared vote n
gains, it, and even they had not time TO attempt its
defeat.
After its passage, however they began TO rally
The Speaker was the frs, to recall tho wandering
sense Of the party. lie did nj know--it might be
he presumed the gentleman iron Cambridge
meant no dlsrcspcct TO the huir-but-but-he
would suggcs, TO the House ilat--that-lhis was
rather an uncommon course Of proceeding and
would seriously embarrass the chair, and he APP
peaed to the House to--lo-.. to--do something 10
rnlove hun.
Mr. Smile cyplained-and glorousy he spoke
too, us those can testify who heard him. Mr. S.
was surprised that any one could for moment sup
pose his resolution entertained any disrepcct TO the
chair--ho really thought it would be beneficial 10
have intelligent farmers and mechanics on the
committees thought that the lawyers vino
were usually placed on the committees might re-
ceve substantial advice and information from far
n,crs and mechanics, and thinking so he had in
lroduccd his resolution.
The House was in glorious fix. A really de-
mocrac resolution had passed-it must be recon-
sdcred--it must be rcscndcd-i it would never do
to have the huge paws on the statute books. The
chair was in great trbuaton--he could nj move
he was hampecd. Mr. Sanborn out of pity to
thai would relieve his honor But reconsidera-
ton would hot 'do--that was not strong enough
it must be DISMISSED. So Mr. Warner of
New Haven (fed.) moved that ii be dismissed, &c.
On motion Of Sanbcrn, ihcNote of this morning
passed the resolution introduced by Mr. Smile,
relative TO the appointment, of standing committees,
was recoisidered.
Mr. Warner of New Haven moved TO dismiss
said resolution.
And the question was stated, shall the said rcso-
luton be dismissed ?-on which question the yeas
and nays having been demanded, were taken, and
were as follows:
