one answered the negative, whereupon he de-

O'Clock tonight = What did that mean It,
meant that no Senatorial bill should pass that
the two Houses should be adjourned without day,
and the result would have been, as Mr. Cherry
himself admitted in the course Of the struggle,
that q Convention would have been necessary in
order to form q new Constitution and to recon-
struct the fabric Of demolished government :!
Again, Mr.. Cherry called upon the Wings to
stand firm, to resist .he bill, and adjourn the Legs
lature and declared in his place that he would
move to adjourn, call the yeas and nays, and re-
sort to all the parliamentary usages in his power
to staye off the question until midnight. And
now, what bill was this which he was thus resist
inga Why, it was bill which gave the Demo
Gratis 20 Districts, the Wings %, and left 6 in
doubt 1.-The very bill which had been agreed to by
Mr.. Philips, of Orange, the Wing member Of the
Committee Of two, and reported BY Mr.. Avery and
himself to the House! Give US, said Mr. Cherry
in substance-give us what we demand-give it to
us noa0, or zoe suil break up this government and
send all interests back to chaos and disorder /!
How different was the course of Mr.. Philips, Of
Orange! He declared, in spirit of true conser-
vatism,, that no such banner of dsorganization
should wave over him, and amid loud applause
from both Democrats and Wings, he protested
against the revolutionary action of the leaders of
his party.
Time wore on, until at length the Speaker took
the matter into his own hands and, by deserving
Mr.. Cherry and others, as Mr.. Cherry charged on
Thursday, he checked the revolution, but in order
to do this he was compelled by the course Of Mr..
Cherry and his brother revolutionists to trample
under foot the rules Of order of the House.
On Thursday the contest was renewed, and, as
the result of Wing action, the wheels of govern
ment rolled within ten minutes Of the verge Of
chaos! Here again the Speaker interposed, and,
by again violating the ruls Of order, prevented
an adjournment of the House. The Speaker, it
appears, was party to the movement up to a GER
| tain time; and while he acknowledged this, and
assumed his full share of the responsibility, he al
the same time expressed his regret for the course
he had pursued, and endeavored to atone for his
error by different course of conduct. Not 81

forced their own Speaker to resign by their rasl
and disorganizing conduct, and rushed the Stat
i government to the very brink of confusion and an
archy! And after all this, Mr.. Cherry, in his pei
sonal explanation, endeavored tojustify his conduc
and exclaimed, in tone of baf1ed indignation
that g if when the crisis arrived, there had bee
any backing out. it was not chargeable to him.
Instead Of expressing regret for his conduct, an
: asking pardon of the House and the country, b
lgloried in the exulted that he had not change
in his purpose to obtain party advantages or rev'
lutionize the government!
