The true Democrat., 1856-02-12
Congressional. Hon. Albert Rust-Horace Greeley The DiHiculfv


 is to the effect that our Representative, Col. RUST, has given Horace Greeley, the abolition editor of the New York Tribune, sound fog- ging.
 The difficulty grew out of strictures made by Greeley upon the course and conduct of Col. Rust. It seems that Rust's resolution, offered with view to hasten, if possible, the organ- zation of the House of Representatives did not meet with the appreciation of the dstin- guished aboitionist. We are not in possession of the particulars, but shall lay them before the people of the southern district so soon as they reach us. One thing is certain, the honor of our State will never suffer in the keeping of Col Rust As private individual, as well as the Representa- tive of 6 sovereign State, he will always exact respect and courteous treatment from all corners -abolitonists, freesoiers and all. We are rejoced to see him taking so high and prominent stand, thus early in the House. and, in connection with this difficulty with Ho- race Greeley, we are certain that he did not in- fct upon Greeley blow amss.
 The following are the resolution and proceed lnSs out of which, we understand, the difficult ty originated:
 Mir. RUST. Isubmit the following propo- sition:
 Whereas one hundred and eighteen neffect- ual efforts to elect speaker, in which the votes have been divided among Mr. BANKS, Mir. RICH ARDSoN, MT. FULLER, and Mr. PENNINGTON, must have made 1t manifest to those gentlemen and this Congress that neither of them is the choice of majority of the members of this House for its presiding officer, and that longer persistence on the part of their respective friends in urging their names for this office will only delay the organization of this House, and there by prevent immediate legislation when the common interests of the whole country require it: Therefore,
 ResolUea That 1t is the sense of this House that Messrs. BANKS, RICHARDSON FULLER, and PENNINGToN, by withdrawing their names, and forbidding their use as candidates for the spea- kership would remove certain and insurmount- able obstacles to its organization, and that the public interests would be greatly promoted by their doing so.
 Mir. Fuller, of Pennsylvania, obtained the floor.
 The Clerk. The gentleman from Arkansas has not yielded the floor.
 Mr. Fuller. l do not propose to debate the resolution. l wish to remove one obstacle to the organization of the House, and therefore withdraw my name candidate for the spea- kership. [Cries>of "Order.'' |" l object to all debate!"1

 MT. RUST. Very well, if gentlemen wish it, let there be vote on the resolution. Mr. Morgan. l move that the resolution be laid on the table. Mr. Pennington. hope my friend from New York oIr Morgan will withdraw that motion for moment, to allow me to say word. Cries of "Order.'' No debate!,'l
 The Clerk. The gentleman from New Jer- sey is out of order. Debate Is not in order.
 Mir Pennington. 1 do not rise for the pur- pose of personal explanation. l do not prol ose to place myself n a position of autagonism to the order of the House, made on Saturday last Cries of "Order,'' l propose to say simply, that the animation contained in this resolution, being the first that has been made on this floor, that my name interposes an obstruction to the organization of the House, wish it understood, in accordance with my declaration few days since, that am not to be reGardeI any longer as occupying the position of candidate. Mr. Eustis. call the gentleman to orler II you wish to make explanations, rcscnd the resolution which cuts of all debate Nj. RUST. demand the yeas and nays on my resolution.
 Mr. Florence. demand tcllers on the yeas and nays.
 Tcllers were ordered; and Messrs Triple and CoIiaX were appointed. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee. move that the considc ation of the resolution be postponed until Monday next.
 The Clerk. The motion is not in order The question was taken, and the yeas and navs were ordered, the tclIers having reported-ayes 27 noes lO6, more than one fifth of those pre- sent voting in the affirmative.

 MT. RUST. Have the yeas and nays been ordered?
