is noticed elsewhere the resolution of Mr. BAR
sAaD to amend The journa! Of Monday, the first
day of the sesaion, by stating the facts Of hisas
ing leave 10 read the Protest &c. and by entering
thereon the document itself. as that intended 10
be read, once more came up as unfinished basl-
ness.

Mr.. HAML1S of~Me. moved further amend
ment directing the Clerk in making mp journal
of tle proceedings Of t0.dagto amt the Protest
Of Mr.. BARNARD at length
Mr.. WINTHROP SAID the Clerk was bound by
his oath to support the Constitution. to record
their proceedings precisely as they occurred; and
when beiore..in the history of this or any other
free country, had gentlemen undertaken 10 m
s,ruct the Clerk beforehand. to deviatc from ac-
snowledged parliamentary principles, to be d.
rected BY their sovereign viii On this p-lncl-
pie. if they wished to concea! from their constl-
tnents or the public any act, they had but TO pass
an order to the Clerk not TO enter 1t upon the
Journal It seemed to HIM a new mode OF e.
puagiag matter from the journal sort OF eI-
punging process by anticipation, and propose
ton fall OF the most dangerous precedent.
Mr.. GILMHR protessed willingness to have the
protest entered on the journal, but objected to
this indirect 20 method of accomplishing ii.
Mr.. HAMLIN supported his amendment as
having for It's object to provide that the journal
| tell precisely what was done. and not whit was
not done.
Mr. BARSARD Lin reference to Mr.. Gmers re-
marks showed that his proposition was as direct
mode as possible Of bringing the protest upon
the jonrnal, protesting did to spread thereon
precise account of the proceedings OF the hrst
day Of the session in reference to the Protest,
| which had been wholly omitted on the Journal.
and as such no man desrons that the true record
should be made could 90 counierto his conscience
in voting foriit
The amendment (of Mr.. HAMLIs) Mr.. B con-
sidered very grave proposition, and one which
touched something more than the mere question
before the House-whIch touched the Constltu-
ton and the oath Of the Clerk. He defed the IN
genuity of man to devise way OF making cor
rect journal ofto-day's proceedings withoutlnclu-
ding the protest. He begged OF gentlemen not to
pile one act of nulifcati0n upon another. They
had nullilied an act Of Congress by the ntTodnc-
ton of certain members INTO this House they
now proposed to nullify the Constitution by d.
recting the Clerk how he should perform his dn-
ties under it. The trainers OF the Constitution
knew verywell what they were about and did
not need to be instructed by any SET Of men at
this day whatever, as 70 what was proper to be
entered upon the journal Of the House Of Repre-
scntatiyes they knew that in The history OF this
country there would be minoriics, and that they
had rights which it vas important should be pre-
served; that it was important that grave legisla-
tive matters should be recorded orthc instruction
Of the present time and of posterity. They had
directed, therefore, that the House should keep a
journal of its proceedings, and not a false but a
true journal, and any direction the part of this
House to ialsfy the Journal (tor this 1t would be II
the record were altered should be treated bythelr
sworn officer as nuty. He hoped gentlemen
would let the protest stand as It did upon the
Journal of Tuesday, and as 1t would upon that OF
today, if correctly made up, and thus show
true record Of the proceedings for the instruction
of the present, and for precedent for all future
time. This was his only object in the matter.
MIR. THOMPSON of Mississippi opposed entering
the protest, at length contending that a true
journal might be made by giving a description
of the paper.
Mr.. HOLMES of s. C. styled this an attempt to
do in advance. what done afterwards, on 4 for
mer occasion, had agitated the whele Country
to erpange in advance.
Mr.. C.J. INGERsoLL moved to lay the whole
subject on the table: lost Yeas 49, Nays 95.
After farther continuation OF the discussion,
Mr.. HAMLIN withdrew his amendment
The amendment of Mr.. BARNARD, as amended,
was then agreed TO; and thus the jonmal of the
first day Monday was disposed OF.
The journal Of Tuesday was then taken mp on
the motion of Mr.. CnArreLL Of Ga. pending to
strike from ii the protest Gas embodied in the re-
solution of Mr. BARNARD.) The motion was
agreed to: Y cas- 81; Nays So
Mr. JOHN CAMPBELL made an unsuccessful ei-
for, to have entered upon The journal his rcsou-
tions opposed to the admission of The General
Ticket Members
The resolution for the adoption of the reles Of
the last Congress came up, and Mr. DaoMCooLE
moved an amendment Qo cover similar cases in
future 10 prevent the entry of irrelevant matter
upon the journal.
