Mr.. STEVENS (Rep, Pena why are not the LIE
compton men dsorganizers f.tbey don't come 20 u,
when they can elect Dir. Sherman, ne mach as when
they refuse TO 60 that side ILaeghter.l
Mr.. ADRAlN--It is true, in not voting Sherman we
keep the House from being organized, but presume
The five Anti-Lecompton Democrats on this floor have
the same ght to their action otheys and will vote
ftr whom they please. As far az l am concernsd--
snd believe speak the sentiments of gentlemen who
act with me-we are DESTROYS of organizing the
House as speedily as possible; but we have not
even an, any opportunity when our votes will
leil. When the South Americans and Democrats upon
this floor unite in body and show formidable force
in opposition to the Republican candidate then the five
Ant-Leeompton Democrats will be called upon to act
definitely. Whenever that time arrives we will vote
as best agrees with ourown Judgments.

wish to know who these five are by name. l
want TO know whether he includes in his lst
such az in their districts had the undivided
vote OF the Republican party and a few Democrats
with them, or whether he means to include these
who had 10 against both Democrat and Republi-
can organization. AZ understand the position of
certain AntlLecompton Democrats, who now refuse
to affiliate with Republicans to organize the House.
in their Districts they regarded altra that
he Republicans retired from the contest and gave
them undivided support. They could receive Repub-
Ecan votes, but cannot vote for Republican. wish
to define my position and know whether stand in as
good position a Democrat as those who now wash
their bands of Republicansm. / had to run against
both Republican and Administration Democrats .tf
an Administration man can with propriety be called
Democrat. wish TO give notice, as it perfectly
apparent this House cannot be organized by MAORI
ty, that whenever motion is made at least for
tine, to proceed to ballot, intend to amend By adding
the plurality rule in the shape Of proviso, and then
Will diecover If not already discovered, who in
favor of organization, and who against. Why
SIR, this Democratic party, as representing the
Administration this door, ought to be seen by
the county. Gentlemen say they are anxious for
their remarks to 90 ont to the country. We hear
every now and then they with this House and the
country to understand thus and wish the country
could just look in and zee the condition of this go
called National Democracy representing the Admins
tration. A more perfect type of the Administration
could not be perfectly organized without conference of
any kind and because they in this pitiable, con-
ttmptible condition, this House is TO be kept unor-
gnized aud the country in uproar from one end to
another. shall move to amend the next motion to
ballot by annexipg the plurality rule.
