These remarks would mpy that propositions had been
made 10 that honorable gentleman either in relation to his
opinions upon subject Of slavery in relation 10 The
formation Of the committees Of this House, TO secure mas
election Now sir know that no such proposition ever
came from the democratic party. And want 10 Know

been made where did thsy iromf From what par
~ and from what seciion Had not the gentleman made
the speech be did should not have asked such question
Of him did not suppose that any such pFoossuon would

stons the gentleman intses have been made IN rela
ton TO formation Of committees and in relation 10 the
Of slavery ought 10 be known and the sooner the
better have said that they did from The dem
party, and want to know from what party they
did come
no danger the present condition Of the House from The
delay in its organization. The democratic party act now
as they always have acted upon pyinesple and stand
ing upon the principles of that party am willing 10 sit
here and from until the 4h OF March, 1856 aud
could do il without fear Of danger 10 the Union have
complaints to make Of the conduct OF The opposition
nor have complaints make OF any like 10 see
good feeling prevail have merely risen to ask the gentle
from OHIO the question, which ! have propounded
candidy whether such propositions have been made and
If So by whom trust that he viii give answer
