Objections from the Republican side
Corwin moved to still further postpone
taking vote on the report of the commit
tee of SO till next Thursday. He believed
public interests would not be prejudiced.
Burnett thought action not speech would
be better for the country.
Corwin said he was duly impressed with
Buruett's suggestion, but thought the peace
convention before Thursday may agree on
something or offer light on the subject so
as to enable the House to come to better
! conclusion.
Craig of North Carolina had no hope
from this peace conference, and opposed
| postponement as Republicans had been so
Ill, no o4b 40
ought to have an opportunity to make
speeches.

until within five minutes of taking a vote.

until gentlemen on the other side could be
heard
Washburue of Illinois said his vote on the
pending question would be governed by the
condition of public business. If this could
be closed up in the meantime, he had no
objection.
Craig was willing to vote now. Several
gentlemen on his side said they preferred it.
Corwin said it was far from his intention
to do injustice to any gentleman.

proposed a compromise viz. to take a vote
now. We might thus, he added, save the
| Union.

] of committee after to-day till Thursday next,
and then resumes consideration of report.
Hutchins OF Ohio argued against the COM
| promise.
Sims of Kentucky advocated Crittenden'
| plan of settlement.
Cox of Ohio replied to some remarks oil
Mr.. Hutchin's concerning himself, which he
characterized as indecent. The renegades
and rascals of John Brown, had the pro-
tecting egis of the constituents of his col
league, who was elected, because he was more
radical than CT idings.
Hutchins responded, saying Cox would
preserve the Union if he could do so by ex-
citing prejudice against the Republican
party.
Cox retorted that his colleague was for I'm
ion if there was power to crush out slavery
in states or territories. He, Cox, was fol-
Union without qualification or condition.
After further remarks the House ad-
journed.
