called for reports.

i'll explanations.
The SPEAKER was understood to say, that
personal explanations had not ordinarily been con-
&sldered as privileged questions.
M Mr. BRiNKERHOFF. | ask the unanimous
&consent of the House to make personal explana-
ton.
M Objections were made.
IN Mr. BRlNKERHOFF. Then ! move sus-
Wpension of the rules. 1t is courtesy which be-
Iieve has never been denied.
Mr.. WINTHROP inquired of the Speaker,
whether it would be in order to call the States in
their order for personal explanations
The SPEAKERS reply was not distinctly heard;
but the reporter thinks that the Speaker said Tin
&good humor) that it would not be in order.
va Mr. WINTHROP, apparently quite satisfied
with the decision, took his seat.
VI The question was then taken on the motion of
sdr. BRINKERHoFr and two-thirds voting in the af-
Affirmative, the rules were suspended.
~ So Mr.. BRINKERIOFF had leave to make
4personal explanation. He said:

Mourning over on the 4th instant, have deferred,
Xuntl this time, the notice which an article In the
#"Union" of the LIST instant demands at my hands,
n and think shall now be held excusabe in tres
w passing few moments on its courtesy
Sir the editor of that paper and the admlnistra-
ton Of which il purports be the organ, must have
VA kno wn-if they knew anything of the public senti-
81 ment of the country-that public sentiment in the
VA West would not tolerate tax on the articles OF tea
and coffee. They must have known that western
~ members on this floor were fully and unequIyocally
M committed against it; that our judgment con-
" demned it; and that could not yield our
assent to it without a sacrifice Of our political
consistency on the one hand, and settled convlc-
tons on the other And yet, sir, week after week
and day after day, the organ, teemed with articles
advocating the i'm position of this TAX the Committee
of Ways and Means on the 4th Of April last-be-
fore the war commenced, and as peace measure,
Wreported a tariff bill imposing such tax; the mem
$ber Of that committee who opened the debate, Mr..
81, JoNEs, deliberately argued in It's favor; the Sec
retary Of the Treasury in his official report to the
Senate put it prominently forward as part
Of his financial scheme; and hence it be-
came evident to my mind that the administration,
with characteristic disregard Of the sentiments OF
western men, had determined to make this tax car,
dinal point in their policy, and tonsst it's adoption
lndeed far was the matter carried, that hut two
' days before my remarks in Committee OF the Whole
~ were made the editor Of the organ came out with an
article, directly, and in the most offensive manner
