! in order
: The CHAIRMAN so considered it,
Nr. WISE appealed to Mr.. Goggn to with
draw his amendment, since it was entirel
out of place at this time.

, | was voted down.
The question being upon the substitute OF
fered by MIR. HARvIE, he demanded the yea
= and nays.
, Mr.. WISE said he was opposed to the sub

: he was opposed to immediate secession, ' fo

, proper time, to offer proposition, so frame
, rs 10 meet the exigencies OF the case, which
, | he thought, would bring back the old unioI
, | or rather, a better Union than the old one, {
s all the ster States. He believed such a pro
, position could be successfully presented b

: view to open the door for a better proposition
: Mr.. SPEED, of Campbell desired to addre:
. the Committee, but the Chair ruled him ou
, | of order. He would, however, submit his II
marks. if no objection was made.
4 Mr.. CARTER, of Loudoun, objected. II
thought the rules Of the Committee ehoul
be strictly observed.
