that the House would indulge him in a single
remark

Resolved That committee of FIVE be ap-
pointed by the Chair, to wait upon Louis Kos
suth, on his arrival in the capital, and intro
duce him to the House of Representatives.
MIR. McMullen objected to the introduction
of the resolution.

no avail, his motion being that the House go
