AFTERNOON SESSION.

AFTbkNOON bkSSlON.
Clark's resolutions being under consider
alton, Crawford made an ineffectaal notion
to submit a resolution for the adoption of
the one hour rule it being evident that af.-
ter Clark delivers his rerIarks, o reply will
be expected from the other side. 1t would
be remembered in the 34th Congress one
gentleman occupied the floor for two days,
and hence his proposition.
A resolution was adopted that the daily
hour of meeting be IL clock,
Clark caused to be read the list OF those,
who recommended the circulation of Mr.
Helpers book, and also the circular itself,
strongly reprobative Of slavery,
Mr.. Clark briefly reviewed the prominent
recommendations in Helpers book strongly
condemning those who signed the circular,
and insisting that if they were carried out,
the Union could not exist Don't put
brother against brother, father against son
don't destroy the conservative sentiment
of the country. Gimer offered a substitute
for Clark's resolution looking to union-nn-.
tiOnal and conservative union, on the basi 3
of the declaration heretofore made by Whig 3
and Democrats against further agitation
the slavery question.
Curtis moved previous question.
Wasbburna Of ILL.,, moved TO lay the
whole subject on the table. Negatived by a
tie vote
The House adjourned without a ballot, OF
any asAi0ni on Clark's resolution.
SEEATR.-MF Masona resolution offered
yesterday to appoint committee to inquire
into the Harpers Ferry invasion came up.
MIR. Trumbull, said it would receive his cor.
dial support Whenever murders had been
committed let us ascertain who are guilty
and hold them responsible He hoped the
investigation would be thorough and COM
plete.
He believed it would do good, by disa.
busing the public mind, especially in the
South, of the idea that such a movement
receives any countenanee or support from
any respectable citizen of the North. No
man who is not prepared to destroy the con.
stitution, subveJt the government and res
solve society into its original elemen ts, could
Justify it no matter what evils either imag-
mary OF real may exist in the body polite
IT one individual or twenty out of twenty
millions could be permitted in his own way
and in defiance of the laws to undertake "a
correct them no government on earth could
gu bsisk
IL that was allowed anarchy would be the
consequence. AS for the misguided mar
who led the insurgents, he had already ex.
plated on the gallows his error, and gone
before the final tribunal
lrnmouli said' let this investigation be
