Proposition to Eapez tue Editor of tue Union
 and Forney from tue House
 Washington, June 8.
 HoUsE.-Mr. Jones moved to go into com mittee of the whole on the state of the Union
 Mr. Haven offered resolution to close the debate on the Pacific railroad on Tuesday next, at 12 o'clock.
 Mr. Benton said he wished to express his views on this bill
 Mr. Haven said he would not press the reso- lution.
 Mr. Gddlngs rose to call the attention of the House to the conduct of A. O. P. Nichol- son, printer of this body He read an article in the Union of this morning; it is in perfect &C., cordance with what had been published in that paper for ten days. He read the article, as fol- lows:
 < In the work of protection, obedience is re- cprocal, and those who like the abolition in- cendiares, Parker, Phillips, and Giddings, and others, who are necessarily proclaimng their hostility to the laws and constitution, and sti- mulatng men, women and children to violate them as sacred duty, in our opinion, have no claims to the protection of these laws and con- stltutlon. They are the apostles of sedition, violence and murder-thev are wild beasts of the forest, knowing no law, no restraint, but their wild, ungovernable instinct and like da- stardly midnight providers, after firing the train sneak to their holes, leaving their wretched dupes to become victims of acts which they themselves have stimulated. Is there no law that can reach these cowardly incendiaries, who after throwing fire brands, skulk away in dark ness to enjoy the blaze? Are those, who on the floor of Congress declare their disaiection to that constitution they have sworn to support I I of legislaton?'
 MT. Bocock wished to know how this subject came before the House.
 The speaker replied that the gentleman from Ohio presented 1t as a question of privi- lege
 Mir. Parker-Not having read it. wished to know if 1t mentioned the names of members of this House.
 Mir. Gddings knew it came from an officer of this body, and that it's members are beyond the pale ot protection, and this is all i'm phca- ton that persons may assassinate them and use violence. lie said he had proposed a resolu- ton, but preferred to leave the subject to & ma jority of the House.
 Mir. OlIs-l want to hear the resolution, 1 may offer an amendment.
 Mir. Jones sad-Without wishing to take part in the controversy, Isubmit there is nothing ln the matter which the practice of the House authorizes as a question of privilege If the editor ot newspaper has assailed member, 1t is in the capacity different from another officer of the House and of private man.
 The speaker sustained this view, but thought Giddin9s had light to present the resolution.
 After consideration, Mir. Gi'iings submitted the following:
 Whereas, A. Q. F. Nicholson, printer of this body and editor of the Union. has, in his paper published all article evidently designed to ex- ert unlawful violence to the members of this body, therefore be 1t
 Resol0el, That the said Nicholson and all others connected with the Washington Union be expelled from this hail.
 MT. Olds-I understand my colleague asks protection of the House from voence; perhaps members of the House may have seenmy col leagues Boston speech. It clearly intimates that he IS afraid of being assasSinated for the course pursued relative to certain measures be- fore the House. but when he comes here to claim the protection of the House for fear of being assassinated for what he has thought fit to do n the course of his official duty, he ought to come with clean hands and a pure heart If l rec0llcctrght, in the Boston speech he charges his colleagues with having cast their votes for the Nebraska bill under bribe
 The debate was participated in by Stanton, Hunter and others.
 Mr. Olds concluded by saying: My colleague talks about kicking southerners into some kind of support ofright measures on this floor. He knows what it is to be kicked. He always was aman of peace and has constantly voted against all war measures. If a personal altercation should occur, it would be coffee instead of pis- tols. 1 move to lay the resolution on the table
 MT. Glddings said, hope my colleague will withdraw his motion.
 Mir. Olds-Let him say what he has to say in Boston.
 Several gentlemen called "Question." as to laying the resolution on the table, v to 29- no quorum. A call of the House was made; 124 members answered, and the House ad-- journed.
