cy debate in the House thus far, and settles one
thing very cOnclusivey that the sympathes OF
its members are for the man KossUTH, not for
the politician. While most of the speakers
plofeseed high respect and regard for him,
they yet have as distinctly repudiated his doc-
trine of Intervention.
The extreme length of that discussion prevents
US from giving it entire, but we will extract u
few of the speeches, which will give correct
idea of the general tone and tenor of the debate,
liz debate it can te termed, where there really
was not any great or material diversity of opin-
ion on important points.
10 the House on Tuesday, Dir. CARTIER Of
Ohio brought up the matter thus
move that the House resolve itself into a
Committee OF the Whole on the state of the
Union, with view of proposing resolution in
the committee. ] hope the House will permit
me, ut least, to make single remark. wish
10 ray that the friends of the resolution do not
contemplate any action of the committee or the
House towards opening this Hall to any har-
angues, but simply to carry out quietly an act
OF courtesy the initiative of which the nation has
already TAKEN
The resolution was then read, as follows:
Resolved, That committee Of five be appon-
ted by the Speaker, to wait upon Louis Kos
suth, and introduce him to the House of Repre-
sentatives.
Mr.. CARTIER moved that the rules be
suspended for the purpose, and on that motion
demanded the yeas and nays; which were Or
dered.
MI. BAYLY, of Virginia. I would suggest,
that II. the motion of the gentleman from Ohio
prevails, the Committee of the Whole on the
state ofthe Union cannot take up that resolution.
They can entertain no subject but such as has
been referred to it,
The SPEAKER That question is not now
before the House.
Mr. McMULLEN Is it in order to move a
call ofthe House?
The SPEAKER Itis in order.
Mr. McMULLEN. Then make such mo-
tion.

a call, and determined in the negative.

S6'the rules were su pended, and the House
resOlvsd itself into Committee of the Whole on
the state of the Union, (Mr. JoNEs, of Tennes-
see, in the chair)
After the discussion and settlement of several
points of order, which were raised under the
the rules, the question was opened for discus
sion.
Mr.. VENABLE proposed to strike out all
after the word resolved" and insert as follows: :
That the Speaker be authorized to invite Louis
Kossuth to privileged seat within this House.
Mr.. VENABl.E said: Mr.. Chairman, | ask
the indulgence of the committee whilst submit
a few remarks on the amendment which have
offered. For the distinguished stranger, whose
advent has produced such a sersation feel all
the sympathy which is due to one who has
struggled, although unsuccessfuily, for that ma
tional organization which suits his views of civil
liberty. However might diff,r with him as to
in the struggle in which be has fallen he was
sincerely contending for the constitution of
Hungary. regret, however, that am compel
led to remark, that this distinguished stranger
has not sustained the high estimate which had
formed Of him as prudent statesman and reli.
able patriot | mean not to question the SINGER
ity, but the practical reliability of his patriotism
Invited as II prisoner and an emigrant he, be-
fore he reached the shores Of England, became
propsg gandist. AT Southampton, almost in
hearing Of the coast oflreland, where the shrieks
of the families of Mitchell and O'Brien had but
lately rent the air, he eulogizcd the British gov
ernment, who had awarded to those patriots the
fate from which the intervention of our govern
ment had rescued hi n. Believing that there are no
degrees in despotism, did not comprehend the
propriety or admire the taste Of that eulogy.
Since he has landed on our shores he has dsa
vowed the character of an emgrant seeking an
asylum in our country, but is an avowed propa
gandist of political heresy, far as we are CON
cerned-harmess, | admit, unless made mis-
chievous by our Endorsement.
The GOODNESS with which he announced in his
speech to the New York bar, that if Russia
should disregard the policy of non Intervention
which he recommended to our country, we must
fight or be disgraced, left nothing to he disclosed
as to his purpose or his policy. He has followed
up that demonstration until in Baltimore, recog-

oovarnment he calls for n prununcamento aa To
