of office. Coneurred in.
The renonstrance against the election of Hor-
ace Collamore, and c. w. PROXY, as Senator's
was referred to Committee, consisting ofMessrs
! Cook, of Suffolk, Phillips, and Croker.
At II O'Clock, agreeably to consignment the
| Senate went into Convention.
Upon the conclusion of the address to the Ex-
ecntive Department retired.
HoUsE.-On motion of Mr. Clark, of Northbo-
| ro', the joint report on Joint Rules and Orders
was taken from the table.
Mr. Clark moved to amend the 9th rule which
reads 1.-The President of the Senate shall preside
! in Conventions of the two branches and such
conventions shall be holden in the Representatives
chamber" by inserting after the word branches
the words and shall decide all questions of or
! der,subject to an appeal to the convention by
ton regularly seconded; and no other business
shall be in order till the question on the appeal
shall have been decided"
In support of this motion, Mr. Clark narrated
the circumstances of Tuesday last when no rem
edy was in the hands OF a member who appealed
from decision of the presiding officer in Conven
ton, and whose appeal was not entertained The
ruling on that occa ion be regarded as mos extra
ordinary. He believed that conventions, under
/ the amended rule, would be better qualified in a
collective capacity to decide questions of order
than the President, as an individual possibly
could be. All minoritieS should possess the means
! of maintaining their legislative rights.
After debate the question being taken, the
| amendment was rejected, 80 to ll9, when the
Joint Rules and Orders, las reported, were adopted
