proceedings.
Hasf.past eleoen o'elock.-Mr. Richardson
said number of the opponents of the bill de-
sire to have until tomorrow morning to delib-
crate as to their course on the Nebraska bill
With view to afford that opportunity, he
moved that the House adjourn. Loud cries
Of ooh, mo-; +" EYES," sc.
Mr.. Hunt-Will you allow me to say
word
Mr.. Rchardson-Ce Certainly with great
deal of pleasure.
Mr.. Hunt said, the friends of the Constitu-
ton, Liberty ana Union are anxious to bring
this matter to an amicable close As one, it
is the strongest wish of my heart. If you
adjourn till Monday you will find full time
for consultation with friends, l belong to no
clique, nor am / associated with any caucus.
There is no factious spirit in my bosom, but
asplrlt OF liberty. If you join me in the same
spirit OF liberty and friendship, will unite
with you. / ask you to accede to this propo-
sition.
Mr.. Richardson-I would most gladly &C
cede, but my friends on this side of the cham
Der have advised the course l have indicated
When we meet tomorrow, l trust we shall
discuss and arrange the preliminaries on which
we can bring about result which is as desr-
able to me, as to the gentleman from Louisiana.
Mr.. stephens, of Ga.-While the gentle
man from Louisiana says what he does, vet he
cannot speak for those who obstruct the bust
ness of the country.
Mr. Hunt-Several gentlemen acting here
to-day as the opponents of the bill, have re-
quested me to consider what plan l could de-
wise to bring about an amicable adjustment.
For the reason that there is some hope of sue
cess l think it reasonable to accede to what I
have proposed.
Mr.. Stephens of Ga.-But the gentleman
cannot speak for them, as | stated, with due
respect for the gentleman, and while he does
not wish unnecessarily to obstruct business,
yet all of those who act with the gentleman,
with entire harmony, doubt not, do throw
Instructions in the way.
Mr.. Cullom-I have been acting firmly with
those who have resisted what ], for one, re-
gard as an attempt, in some degree, to stife
| debate on this important question. l have
been actuated by no factious motives. I have,
from the first, resorted to nothing disorganiz-
ing to defeat the passage of this bill, if it is
| the deliberate intention of this House to pass
this or any other; but have thought there has
! not been full discussion. When, however,
discussion shall have been exhausted on this
| important question, | am not one of those
J who will stand in the way and impede the le-
Ultimate business of the country. How far |
shall yield my opposition to the bill l am not
prepared to say but will say to the gentle
men from Georgia and Louisiana, and to the
country, that l have been prompted in all that
l may do to perfect measures that may re-
| dound to the greatest possible good Of the
country, and there my opposition shall cease.
Mr.. Stephens, of Georgia, retorted in true
Southern style.
Mr.. Cullom-I hope the gentleman will
not consider me responsible for faction.
Mr.. Stephens-I must tell him, while occu-
plying his position, the majority must look to
| the ultimate expectations from outside friends.
Mr.. Giddings chastity arousing from nap)
call the gentleman to order. If this stump
speaking is to go on, I'll take a hand in it
| Laughter-Cries of 4" Good,' and calls To
order.''l
The Speaker pro tenn (Mr. Orr)-The Chair
sustains the point of order of the gentleman
from Ohio. Such debate, if INDUCED in might
| lead to bad results. There is no debateable
| proposition before the House.
The question is on adjournment.
| Mr.. CampbeIl-I desire simply, sthe whole
matter is out of order, with the consent of the
| House, to inquire of the gentleman from Geor-
gia.
Before finishing the sentence he was called
to order by Mr.. Seward.
Mr.. Campbell, elevating his voice above the
din, exclaimed: 81 will resist to the bitter
end" TDeafening cries of Order.

members who were doing in their chairs and

Mr.. Seward lin loud tone, looking in the
direction of Mr.. Campbell, } said, F" This is no
| place for difficulties, but outside the Hall.

me-"

to Mr.. Campbell in a menacing attitude, and
instantly the parties were surrounded by
members, some Of them running over the
desks in their anxiety to reach the scene. 'he

are acting in contempt of the House. Bang,
