XXXVI CONGRESS-FIRST SESSION.


= friends he found that they were almost
unanimously of the opinion that it was
necessaey to proceed to ballot in order to
bring about an organization of the House.
/ The Administration was almost without
money, as well as without friends, and he
wanted 20 provide for the former. He want
ed to tell the gentlemen en- the other side of
/ the House that the Republicans will not
shrink from the discussion at the proper
time They will debate the question which
has been introduced until all the parties are
satisfied. He would take the first opportu-
nifty to examine the condition of things at
! the North aud South. They had been in
formed that there would be II dissolution OF
copartnership. He wished to examine how
the account stands, and wko has been doing
wrong.
Mr. Maynard, of Tenn, said they hsd
| been engaged during an entire week, and
had only taken three votes for Speaker.
! Much of the time has been occupied as if
| in committee of the whole discussing ques-
| tions necessarily incident to the attempt TO
| effect an organization. They had seen the
bad consequences of the neglect Of the or
! ganization in the interruptions and disturb
ances coming from the galleries without a
presiding officer to preserve order. Under
! these circumstances, he offered resolution
| that the oldest member Of this House by
! consecutive service therein, be appointed
| chairman until the House shall elect the
| Speaker.
Mr. Kilgore objected on the ground that
the resolution was not in order.
| Several other members also objected
| Mr.. Maynard referred to precedents in
support of his resolution, and showed that
John Quincy Adams was once appointed
chairman till speaker could be elected
| His proposition was simply Tor the preser-
yation of the order, dignity, and selt-respcct
of this body, while the eyes of this great
nation are upon the representatives of the
| people. ...r
Mr. Stewart, of Maryland, said thatit was
necessary that there should be comparison
of views; that the dignity OF this House

labor as applicable to the South and thought
that it was by act of kind Providence
| that the African was brought to this country.
If the next Presidential election should be
determined in favor of Northern sectional
views, he believed the Southern and Pacific
States would deliberately take counsel to-
gether to provide remedy.
SENATE-On motion of Mr.. Davis, of
Miss, resolution was adopted for the ap-
pointing a committee to wait on the Pres
dent and inform him that the Senate was
really to receive communications, in order
that he may have an opportunity to send
nominations and Executive business to the
Senate previous to the organization of the
House.
On motion of Mr.. Brown, of Miss, it was
resolved to proceed to the election Of Chap
lain on Thursday next.
Mr.. Iverson, of Georgia, said he had been
misunderstood by the Constitution newpa-
per, in a remark made by him the other day
about the Democratic party. When he said
he believed the Democratic party, if not
corrupt was at least corruptible, he did not
mean to accuse them of completely or SYM
pathy with Brown, but simply to say that
on the question of the Territorial rights of
the Southern people, great portion of the
Democracy are unsouud. This was vital
questio ton the rights and interests of the
South, and on this questir believed a
large portion, if not the fthe North
ern Democracy, was unso
He believed, and the S. people be-
leved, that they had the under the
Constitution, 10 emigratet Of the Ter
ritories with their slave pr and when
there, they have right to the protection OF
the law in the enjoyment of their slave
property. Congress has the power to give
that protection, and it is its duty TO do it
1t cannot be disputed that this is not the
position Of the Northern Democracy-at
least that portion who follow Douglas
They deny the power of Congress over the
, subject, and deny that Congress can increase
jurisdiction So as TO give that protection
They say the power belongs to the people OF
f the Territories themselves, in Ter itorial
form, and when "A sufficient number of peo-
pie go into n Territory TO form political
community, they have complete right to
regulate the subject as they please, and
had the right to interfere.
Now, he contended that position was as
unsound as the Wilmot Proviso. When he
3 | saidAthe Democratic party were at least cor
ruptihe he did not allude to them in &
moral sense, but spoke in political sense
thinking the time was fast coming " her
they would be so utterly overwhelmed by
this sentiment that if they have not already
become Abolitionized they would become SO
Mr.. Bigler, of Pennsylvania, said he wa
| surprised to hear the remarks of the Sena
tor. The other day he thought he did thu
n Democratic party of the North great injus
tice, for he certainly used strong language
and went on TO some length to say the,
t were as rotten and corrupt on the subject a
the Republican party. Mr.. Bigler would
# tell the gentleman that such a declaration
had no foundation in fact.

cratic party sympathised with Brown i'll hi
