SpeakerahIp of the House of Delegates


Mcssrs. Elitors:-Tn consequence Of the de-
misc of the lamened 0. NJ. CrutchGcld, tho
Speakcrship Of the popular branch Of the Gene
raj Assembly is vacant and it will devolVe
upon that body to fill it at their approaching
meeting.
That the position is Que of Importance, no
ono will deny; equally certain it is that the
incumbent should he possessed Of great 6rm-
ness, sound judgment, quick perception and
pleasing manners. Such qualifications are to
be found, to an eminent degree, in Col Chas.
F. Collier, of Petersburg, delegate elect from
that city.
For several years Colonel Collier has been a
member Of the House of Delegates, and has
gathered experience in its councils; moreover,
he has been frequently called on to preside ut
its deliberations, with confidence in his i'm
partiality and judgment We take great plea
sure in testilyiug to these facts, and most cheer
fully recommend him to a permanent seat in
the Chair he has SO often ably filled

Mr.. SuErFgr.--l rise to question of order.
The motion to strike ont, if carried, will
leave the clause in the Identical! form Of the
article Of the present Constitution; and can
see no reason why a proposition to cf1tr a sub
stitute, which is in identical terms with the
article Is it would be if my proposition pre-
walls, should be entertained.
There is another objection 10 the proposition
of the gentleman. 1t contains in two instances
the words Omitted States" instead Of "Con-
federate States" That will be the only diff.
ference between the clause proposed to be
substituted BY the gentleman, and the clause
in the amended Constitution, If the words 10
which my proposition refers are stricken out
II my motion TO strike ont shall prevail it
will leave the clause precisely as il Is in the
present Constitution, with the exception of
the words United States"
Mr.. HAYMoSD.-I intended to have subsli
tu,ed the words Confederate States for "uni.
ted States" 1t has already been done by an
ordinance of the Convention but happened
to get hold Of a copy of the Constitution in
which this change had not been made. But,
to obviate any difficulty upon that point, will
ask the Secretary. to make the chan ge and
substitute the word Confederate" for Uni
ted"
| am not very sure that the motion Of the
gentleman to strike out reduces the clause ex.
actly to the clause in the Constitution Of
lS5O-'51. Who knows what that clause is ?
Who knows what rights and privileges it con-
fers upon the .peopieY ! think it safer to adopt
that clause than to adopt the one reported by
