business, the same being the amendment of Mr..
Gilmer to the motion of Mr.. Barnard in reference
TO the minority protest This was rejected by

Mr. HAMLIN, of Maine, moved that the
Clerk, in recording this days proceedings, be d.
rected not to insert this protest at full length.
Mr.. WINTHROP, of Massachusetts, express
ed his astonishment at this motion. BY the
Constitution a minority Of one-ffth might be
heard on the journal. II was a privilege of
which they could not be deprived. He demand

Mr. HAMLIN, of Maine, contended that the
protest had no right upon the journal, and the
House could instruct the Clerk how their record
should be made up.
Mr.. BARNARD said the House had already
perpetrated an act of notification, and now it
was proposed to add another.
After some further debate, m
