The Speaker desired to say that the
parliamentary usage was to name en- the
committee the mover of the resolution
under which tho committee was ordered
to be fornel lie had omitted the name
of Mr.. Boteler at the gentleman's own re-
quest lie had Ell deavored toappoint the
committee to the best of his judgement
and at the earliest period, in view Of the
important business with which the com
mittee was entrusted.
! 1t was thought that a committee ofthis
kind woullharmonize the discordant ele-
ments, hut later adNces from Washington
seem to indicate that they wi widen in
stead of close the breach, as the Speaker
has been unfortunate in the selection o
their committee, number of them are
repugrant to large portion Of the citi,
zens Of the States from which they hail (;
hence they will be unable to effect the de-
sired result.
Both wings Of the disunionists have.
made threatening and daring speeches in
the regular braggadocia style, Mr. Hale, of
New Hampshire, taking the lead, and Mr..
lyerson, Of Georgia, following in his wake.
