DELIVERED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

MARKS OF Mr.. C. N. CARTER OF oHEHAus.
Mr. SPEAKER:-I rise, sir, to question
Of privilege. In the Pioneer and Democrat
Of the 2lst, inst, appears speech purpor-
ting to have been delivered on the floor Of

ministration aud one Of my constituents,

Having no other means of explanation,
ask Of this house the right to reply.

which in any manner condemned his course,
was during President Pierce's administra-
ton, and further, if the administration had
been so opposed to Gov. Stevens, is it not
reasonable to suppose that he would have
been removed? which was not the cuse, for
he held his Office until after he was elected
Delegate, when he sent in his resignation
and Gov, McMullin was appointed in bis
place. 70
In the second paragraph the adniaistra-
tion is called to an account for not recon-
mending the payment Of the war debt
Would this have been wiser would II have
Aeen polite? Is it, ask, proper for the
President to use his influence to procure
the passage Of bill which is before Con-
gress, and in the hands of committee fer
investgationl And from the tenor Of the
language used in this connection, we would
suppose (if we did not know otherwisel
the gentleman was decidedly opposed to
the administration, and ready and only
waiting an opportunity to do battle agalnsI

Furthermore, the President is accused
Of toggyism; Of being an old man; Of being
