So the motion to lay an the table was
negatived.
Mr.. Belser offered the following reso.
luton as substitute for that of the gen
lleman from South Carolina, (Mr.
Holmes and asked him to accept it as a
modification. Mr. B. said he would in
form the House thai the resolutions were
the same a were adopted at the democrat
ic national convention, held at Baiumore
in May, 1870:
Resolved, That Justice and sound pol
icy forbid the federal government 10 foster
one branch of industry TO the detriment
of another, or to cherish the interests OF
one portion to the injury OF another por-
ton of our common country; that every
citizen and every section of the country
has right to demand and insist upon an
equality of rights and privileges, and to
a complete and ample protection of per-
sons and property from domestic violence
or foreign aggression.
Resolved, That Congress has no
power, under the Constitution, to in
lerlere with, or control the domestic
institutions of the several States and
tha: such States are the sole and
proper judges Of everything apper-
tanning to their own affairs, not pro-
hibited by the Constitution; that all
efforts of the abolitionists or others,
made to induce Congress TO interfere
with questions Of slavery, or to take
incipient steps in relation thereto,
are calculated to lead to the most
alarming and dangerous consequent
ces and that all such efforts have
an inevitable tendency to diminish
the happiness of the people, and en-
danger the stability and permanency
of the Union, and ought not to be
countenanced by any friend to our
political institutions

The Speaker said that it was not,
the previous question having been
seconded.
mi. DICKINSON moved 10 lay llle
question of reconsideration on the ia
bic ); rejected.
The question being put on recon-
sidering the vote seconding the pre-
vious question, ii was carried-ayes
sc, noes 81.
So the vote seconding the previous
question was reconsidered.
MIR. Vinton called for a further di- !
vision of the question, SO as to take
it first on the first branch of the first
resolution, which was also ordered.
The question was then taken on
the first branch of the first resolu-
ton, as follows:
