shall not be organized by Monday next the mem

Ind not formally offered the resolution for the
consideration Of the House, for the reason that he
had determined TO await the result Of the " Re-
publican" caucus, as affecting the Speakersbip
There was conviction on his mind that the
House cannot be organized with the present ma
terals. He would refrain from submitting his
proposition, if any gentleman could present a
feasible scheme which could give any assurance
OF the probability of an organization.
Mr.. MACE said he held in his hand proposi-
lion which was the sole result OF his own mind
He had not consulted single individual on The
floor in relation to IL. lie had conceived il in
spirit Of compromise, and did not submit il ms 10
partisans, but as TO statesmen. He believed The
resolution ought to be adopted. and without re-
sorting TO The yeas and nays He sought 10 ac.
commodate every interest in the House
The resolution was read, as follows:
Resofvcd, That Nathaniel p. Banks, OF Massa.
chusetts, be and he is hereby declared Speaker OF
this House; William Cullom, Clerk; A. j. Gloss.
