Mr.. Yulee asked for The immediate con-
siJeration,
Mr.. Sewer objected.
The Presiding Officer announced tina,
objection beng made, The resolution would
lie over one day.
Mr.. Badger suggested that as the reso.
luton related 10 question OF privilege,
The parliamentary practice gave il prece-
drnce over ordinary resolutions. and ex-
emp,ed il from the rule applicable TO
them.
The Presiding Officer said that, upon
examining the rule, he could find no dis
tnc,ion made between resolutions upon
questions Of privilege and any other re.
solutions. This resolution, therefore,
must lie over.

zion, and supported his appeal with some
rcmarks; but at the suggestion Of Mr.. Cal
houn, and on motion Of Mr.. Davis. The
question on the appeal was postponed un-
