The House then proceeded To the execution of the oiH,
order, viz the election Of the State officers
Mr.. MAYO nominated james f. Heath as ls Audtor.--
Mr. H. ~ al officer who has discharged the duties OF This Of
ce for the last thirty years. There il i'll the Sta,
who Is more capable efficient. who would discharge tho
duties with more ability i!.an Mr. IA.
Mr.. MARTZ nolninitrd George w. Thompson, who has
hlcd various stations under the State and Federal Govern
ments with satisfaction and ability. Should s oce be-
bestowed upon Colonel T. he confident the Stale would
never have cause 10 regret il.
Mr. PRICE sad this very important office and this
was very important year, the sales of delinquent lands
10 he made He thought that there
capable of disclarsng this duty ihan James T. Health.
Should he be removed aud some else substituted this
duty would ehcrnot BE- discharged very badly done He
was also member of the Board Of Public Works. lie had
up with il from it's commencement; aAd knew all ol its
nmcalions. Has he discharged his duties properly
Can member ilgi he has No, the only charge
il that he is Wing.
Mr. MARTY stated that Mr. Heath had been volcu,
parlizan--!c had buresqued the Democratic party,
Mr.. PRICE said if he had written bureslue upon the
Democrats why was he not turned ont hfure Who knows
George W. Thompson!
Mr.. WELLS said he lid.
Mr.. PRICE wanted 10 know if this is The same George
~. Thu.son who defeated in district which gave
500 Democratic maority Does he COME here We'll endorsed
by his own political fricndsl
Mr. CLAIBORNE did not know what right the gentleman
from Grsenhrer had Ia ask why turned out James t.
Heath He responsible alone 10 for his action
He did not against him because he had TALENT or because
he had written comedy He voted against him because he
knew h. Whlg and for George W. Thompson because
he Democrat. Ii gentlemen expected to make cai-
tai nj this thing for home consumption, they would be dis
appointed. IL was too small game especially coming on
the heel Of rayor's administration. Suppose his people
next Spring should turn him out as his office annual
one would not that be much prescription in this in
stance? Col Thompson had talent enough to discharge
any duties that might attach 10 this office He recoected
that last year. when Col Thompson was nominated Go
vernon the Wing Delegate from Ohio who came here bnckcd
by 500 Whg majority said for Col Thompson in one
minute than he could In years
Mr.. FERGUSON said that the reason why Col. ThoTp-
defeated ought to be well known 10 tho member
from Grcenbrler il every else Had the Whg
party known that dissatisfaction prevailed such eSlont
Mr. Russell would have been elected in the spring h this
the first time that Democrats have been defeated in Demo-
cratic districts? Wings n Whg districts! Look ut the
immortal Bolts, he not defeated in Wing district +
torncy2
Mg kRICE said he did not know.
Mr. FERGUSON said that the reason why he removed
because he Uemocral and that ground alone.
Mr. T. did prescribe Mr. Heath Mr. Heaths time
out, and We had right To place in Office who
woukl discharge the duties properly. de did not vote
against Mr.. Heath because lie had written farce; that was
small business for him. Ii had tendency rather to
ridcue the author than any else He did not think that
any had right to hold public office all his life Hc
wanted some in the Board Of Public Works II
only the intention Of the Democratic party 70 remove
two Of those officers unless they forced to do other
wise by the course of the Whigs
Mr. BURWELI would moi haye said word but for the
threat Just thrown out by the member from Logan Had thai
gentleman all e concentrated power Of his party here he
mir b would not be restrained from dschnrging his duty
He knew nothing of she farce Gaken of here and did moi
know why should be Lrough. up nowl He referred 10
the election o he Public Printer whose business it
inc violent party paragraphs contrast 10 the cours,
proposed He said that he voted with friend who diff
ered with him politically To ress at all hazards, in casc
certain contingencies Was he unworthy of confidence hen
He also voted Tor high public innconary few days since
Did he then enquire what were his opinions! II W
carry this principle, would Nc hot havetu enquire wha
the political cpinqsrs o juros1 Were there any Oh
ections this officer other hnn that he had written play
If there were We should have heard them before this II
, ,llIrrea Ia Ireland where the people had been s,rv
ng rid themselves OF the principle which You propos
10 carry to-day. He had nothing "a say against Nj
Thompson If gentlemen ogaased TO lie-tenure in Of
ce why do they propose 10 place Mr. Thompson in ofic
