Mr.. Harris, (opp.) Of H.. moved that the
vote be reconsidersd, and to lay that motion on
The table.
Mr.. Stephens moved to adjourn. Nsgativsd
| BY u majority.
Mr.. Triple, (opp.) of Ca, lMr. Harris
having temporarily Withdrawn bis notion J
said be would have preferred Z postponement
tlll an earlier day than Nav. or next Monday
but as his colleague { Mr.. HID and other gen
tlemsn, design being absent, be would vote for
the second Monday in May. He could see no
damage to ensue from the postponement, unless
members were afraid Of themselves. He had
no idea that there would be a prolonged debate.
II the majority intend to pass the bill, they can
do 80 snder the previous question at any time
He, however, desired to be heard on the sub
isct. He did not know what his final action
would be on the bil. While IL was being read
be aseeTtained for the first what rs provisions
we're. He was not willing 20 vote on ms5ie.I
four hours eonsiderstioH asse sszsssaIoa 81 this
kiFsss eiiicf presented on the face OF il some
evidence OF taking the back track. he pro-
tested against a vote on the collateral question
being Indicative Of what bis final action would
be, and against being led like a victim to the
alter, without saying ANYTHING.
Mr.. Seward, (adm.) Of Ga, made an inef-
fectual motion for the House to adjourn.
Mr.. Burnett, (adm. OF KY, in reply TO Mr..
Trippe, said If any had been tabooed he did
not know from what source it emaDatsd. He
presumed every gentleman voted on his own
judgment, without reference to the opinion OF
others.
Mr.. Trippe explained that be meant an i'm
proper construction should not be placed on
votes upon mere collateral question.
Mr.. Burnett replied that one hundred and
twenty speeches had been made on the Kansas
question, to the exclusion of debate on other
important subjects. Some gentlemen voted i0F
the proposition because thsy wanted time to
think, while others voted 70 prevent the settle
msnt OF the question. He appealed to gentle
men all round, North and South, whether they
were not prepared TO make ~ an intelligent
juigment by Monday next. IF they intended
TO restore peace to Kansas and the country
they should act without unnecessary delay.
Mr.. Hill said if it bad not been for particular
reasons De would not have made the motion to,
postpone until the second Monday in May.
Mr.. Gartrell, (sdm.) Of Ga, objected to the
gentleman making any explanation.
Mr.. Hill said he expected as much, and
made further remark, which was insudible in
the reporters gallery.
Mr.. Hill az the time was in the immediate
neighborhood Of Mr.. GsTtIell, and several
frie lds were standing between these gentlemen,
who seemed in earnest aud exciting converse
tion.
The Speaker called them to order several
times, and esked where the SeTgaHt-at- Arms
was, and directed Mr. Hill to retire to his seat
The threatened difficulty soon passed away.
After several Intellectual motions to adjourn,
the last prevailed by five majority, pending a
motion made BY Mr.. Harris, Of Illinois, to re-
consider the vote BY which the House post
poned the consideration Of the Kansas question,
and to lay that motion on the table.
The House adjourned.
