Mr.. HowAR of Michigan now presented as

whole Buchanan side of the House was lashed INTO

peals. &C., were piled upon each other for three
stormy hours will not follow the days struggle
in detail. The objections raised to receiving the
Report substantially were-1. That it was not yet
perft cted-Mr. Oliver wishing to examine one
or two more witnesses (the President for ene' and
the Speaker for another, to which his colleagues
bad sssented. 2 That it was not privileged
matter, having reference to Kansas affairs gener-
ally, aud not specially to the contest oil hitncld
and Reeder, and so could only be received when
Rtports from Select Committees should be 10 order.
3. That Mi. Oliver lad not been allowed an op-
portunity to prepare minority Report. 4. lhat
the Report must be read and adopted 10 formal
meeting of all the Members of the Committee, and
tbsbad not been. 5. That the Committee had no au-
tbority given it to make Report at al-that II
could report nothing but the evidence it had taken
There were many more .cavils resOrted to, but all
seemed variations or notifications of these. Each
objection was a point of order, suggesting other
poipts which were raised and urged with great
ingenuity, and the Speaker was repeatedly Obliged
to advise Members that pending appeal must be
decided before another can be entertained. MIR.
Banks ruled uniformly against the cayiers, whose
aup,als were excessively withdrawn or lad on
the table-not one of them being decided by Yeas
aid Nays.
At length the opposers offered to compromise,
Withdrawing all opposition If the Ffee-Kansas men
would agree that the Report should be received
hid on the table, and ordered to be printed without
berg read; but the offer was rejected. At last,
by s,esdy effort and the extraordinary energy,
promptitude and clearness of the Speaker, (whOse
ruling throughout this stormy sitting was never
surpassed all impediments were brushed away,
and the House brought TO vote, under the Pre-.

Again the furies ragged, but were soon subdued-
no, till after Mr. DUNN of Indiana had called on
the Speaker to have Mr. FLORENCE of Pa. put in
charge of the Sergeant-at.Arms if he did not desst
from speaking out of order.
The Speaker ruled that any Member might
demand the reading of the document at this stage,
and the decision was not appealed from; So about
p. m, Mr.. SHERMAN Of the Committee CON-
meDced the reading. He read about half an hour,
with slight Interruptions; then Deputy.Clerk
succeeded him, and read till about 5, interrupted
by two or three motions to dispense with further
reading, adjourn, &c. The reading was generally
listened to with profound attention. At length the
Pro- Slavery side could endure no more Of such
developments on empty stOmachs, and began to
fllibuster so seriously that the majority thought
best to give way, and adjourn, leaving the reading

admirable minority Report on Douglass and
