HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Immediately after the Journal was read,
Mr., ADAMS called for the orders of the day.
Mr.. CAMPBELL, of South Carolina, moved
for the printing of 10000 extra copies of the re-
port of the Committee on Elections in the case
Of the General Ticket members Objected to.
18th (ONCE 2lsr) RULE.
Mr.. WINTHROP continued and closed his
remarks. He alluded to some of the conflicting
opinions that prevailed in regard to the construc-
ton Of the Constitution. He answered an OBJ
lection raised by many against these petitions,
who urged that if received, we must proceed
next to grant the prayer. Such was not his view !:
those who pressed the right of petition, did not
necessarily press for legislation. He thought
that petitions should be received, referred, and
reported upon beyond this, he was for the Con-
sttution as it is-for the Union as it is, 10Th all
its compromises. He spoke as Northern man,
and for Northern principles.
Mr.. PAYNE, of Ala, next took the floor and
discussed chiefly the question ofpropcrty in slaves
Southern men originally became shareholders
upon compulsion. Under the colonial system,
every proprietor of 100 acres of land was obliged
to own four slaves.
In the Maryland Declaration Of Rights, the
abolition Of slavery was prohibited. The case
was equally strong, ne thought, in Virginia /;
neither of these States could abolish slavery. In
ceding the ten miles square, they had expressly
made one Of the terms that no rights of property
should be interfered with. Those who contended
that Congress could abolish slavery in the Dis
trict, were bound to point out the clause in the
Constitution that gave the power. That instru-
ment declares that private property should not be
taken for public uses, and this settled the matter.
Petitions asking Congress to do what it had no
constitutional right to do ought not to be received.
Mr.. DUNCAN asked Mr.. p if he did not think
the people Of this District had the power to in
struct Congress to abolish slavery in it !!
Mr.. PAYNE answered in the negative. In
struction went hand in hand with the right of suf
frage, and there was neither power with Congress
nor the people of the District, to abolish slavery
in the ten miles square.
Mr.. WRIGHT obtained the floor, but the
morning hour having almost ran out
Mr.. CLINGMAN moved to suspend the rules
10 order to continue the debate. The motion was
rejected. 1yits
Several Executive communications were recciv-
ed and appropriately referred.
A bill to authorize the payment of equitable
commissions to agents paying money under
awards Of foreign powers, was read twice and re-
ferred to the Committee of the Whole.
A large number Of private bills we're reported
from the Committee Of Claims by Mr. VANCE,
Of Ohio One Of these provided fonthe payment
of the passage Of La Fayette from France TO the
