ssyty Of Georgia, that 1t was composed OF tho fac
&oas Of all parties; and he saw In one paper an ap
geaion to that honorable and patriotic party Of the
tm "piebald."

Mr.. BRooKs (of N. Y, Whig,) rose to
mint of order and referred TO the thirty first Rule
Mr.. MCMULLEN-To which Of us do you
nake the point of order
Mr.. Brooks Both of you.
The rule was read, IT, the effect that gen.
demen must strictly conhne themselves to the quos-
ton under debate, and avoid person alties.
Mr.. BROOKs made this point of order
That the gentlemen are discussing party matters,
md not the Deficiency Bill.
The Chairman (NEADE, Va, LOcO) de.
cldsd that literal construction OF the rule precudes
the gentleman from Georgia; but by the uniform
practice OF the House, the Char would not under
take to rule the gentleman out Of order.
Mr.. Books said he was aware the Chair
had decided according to usage but, during the last
session, on four or five occasions, when public ousl-
ness was pressing, the House confined members lit
orally to the rules, because 1t was found Impossible
10 transact tho public business without this course.
He appealed from the decision of the Chair.
The question being taken, the Chair was
sustained Ayes, 70; Nses, AZ.
Mr. HnLYTR resumed. He had no OBJ
lection to excuse the gentem an from Virginia, but
the same principles and opinions had been avowed
By other gentlemen. He was proud 10 say that, In.
ssssd Of the URion party OF Georgia being composed
OF factions OF all parties there was not In 1t one
Aboitionst or Free Soiler. or one Tariff man for

tLaushter.l
Mr.. DUNCAN (Mass, Whie) rose, merely
wishing to say that white gentlemen have never
availsd themselves Of the privilege.
MIR. HILLYER-That confession Is worthy
Of notice. Why pass law the privileges OF when
no white man wishes TO enjoy why give him the
