SO the amendment of MIR. FEArHERsroN W,

O. And the question recurred upon the motion

'g- The SPEAKER. The Chair will state to IL
ar, gentleman from Alabama, and to the House, TIN
y, when this question first presented, 1t new
"a it had never been brought to his consideration
d, Since that time, during the call of the yeas an
$, nays, he has examined the question, and he
c. very clear IN his mind to the correct de
{. cisIon to be pronounced in this But il va
p ries somewhat from the opinion he gave to tn
?, House when his opinion first asked and
:, is to be regretted that this should be the
!, Still he must give the opinion nov as he entertain
/ IT. When the point submitted upon the dI
vision OF the question upon the commitment ant
. Instructions so as first upon the nstruc
' ons, and then upon the commitment, or rice
/. the Chair, held and still holds, the opinion tha
J. the question cannot thus be divided. The rule is
!, that motion to be divided must contain two o
! more separate and distinct propositions. If tn
,, motion to commit, and the motion to instruct III
! committee, be divided, and the question be take
, first on the motion TO commit, and the House re
fuse TO commit, the motion 20 instruct does no
!. constitute substantive proposition which cai
stand by itself. If, on the other hand the vote b
taken first on the motion to instruct, and that il
adopted, the question would recur upon the mo
5 ton commit; and If the House should refuse
to commit, what becomes of the Instructions? =
, They must necessarily fall. This shows that the
y. commitment and instructions not two ds,lnc
: and substantive propositions. Ii the instructions
had been offered separately an amendment, thu
(, House would thereby have been brought to u vote
T, separately upon them, and, II they were agreed
!, to, the question would recur upon committing
F, with the instructions. The Chair thinks the poin
: a very clear and distinct He Intimated ih
, opinion, however, TO the gentleman from Illinois
MIR. WESrwoRrH,l that separate vote might b
taken upon each branch Of the instructions, afte
y the first But the House, upon reflection, vii
perceive that this ruling would involve the Hous
in the same difficulty. Suppose the vote was take

structions, and the House refused To commit wit
