luton Of privilege, which was read for IN

ments for the Inauguration Of the Equestrian
Statue Of General Washington, which resolution
charged them with want OF attention and hoSpi-
tally to the Seventh Regiment Of the citizen sol
diery of New York city, invited by said committee
to participate in said inauguration; and whereas
the said resolution is wholly untrue, as fully ap-
pears from the facts disclosed,
Resoleed, That the introduction of said resou-
ton by the gentleman from New DIRK, was an un-
justifable reflection upon the Committee OF TINS
House as well as upon the President, heads OF
the several Departments, and others who were
alike censured for a want of hospitality TO the
Seventh Regiment; aud that the resolution was
introduced by said gentleman for the purpose OF
reaping little political capital for himself

agreed to- 900
On motion, it was agreed, by vote of "
yeas to Ga nays. that when the House adj
