SO this Convention refused 10 strike out the
sixth resolution
Mr.. WlsE--Is it in order now 10 move an III.
dition 10 that resolution?
The CHAEgMAS-If it does not ufitct the
substance Of the resolution it will be in order.
Mr.. WIsE-I would want IT, lnake no adll-
ton at all, lift did not affect it and aid another
idea to it.
The CuAIRHaS-In the opinion CT tho Chair
it is not in order.
Mr. WIsE-l do not want to change the
matter which has been adopted % not
wnnt to take anything from the substance OF
II, but want 10 put OF additional matter.
The CEAIRMAN-The Chair has Just o..
pressed the idea that it is in order TO add To
the resolutions AS adopted, provided the addi-
ton proposed does not affect tue substance Of
the resolution.
Mr.. WlsE-l propose to adl this amend
rncDt:
g" But Virginia should not offer or aloptany
terms Of adjustment that ought not to be ac.
ceptable 10 the seeded States and restore
them to the Union"
Mr.. ROBERT Y. CoNRAD-I submit that tha
II
Of the Chair. understood that tic vote on
the motion to strike out has adopted the 9Th
resolution.
The CnAIRNAN--The Chair has an impres
sion that the Convention has adopted some
rule in regard to the subject which changes
the manual
Mr.. ROBERT Y. CoSEAp-t desire to submit
another objection to the amendment, that the
proposition has, in fact, just been voted upon
by the Committee 1t constituted part OF
the substitute offered by the gentleman from
Princess Anne, and the motion was to Strike
out in order to insert the substitute. Is ii
competent nov to take portion Of that sub.
stitute and offer it as an addition 10 the reso.
luton ?
Mr.. Vision that point the gentleman is
unluestionably inexperienced in plrlalnenta-
ry law. lie confesses 10 his inexperience, and
when ne makes such proposition as his, il
must be looked over. The rule is this. Here
is the Parliamentary law adopted by this body:
Any member may call for division ui
the question, aid it shall lhcreupon be di-
vided, if It cemprchends propositions i'll sub
stance 50 distinct. that Une being taken away,
substantive proposition shall remain for the
decision Of the House; but melton to
strike out being lost, shall not preclude -
motion to strike out and insert"
The CnAlgMAN-That is ore OF the rules OF
the Convention. The Chair was acting, it,
tie while back, on the manual, but US the
Convention has changed the manual in that
respect, Of course the law Of this Committee
will be changed in conformity
Mr.. WlsE-Permit me to say, too that this is
different proposition, although it is in tOtidem
rer6is, the same one. Why? Because it is
now disconnected from the other proposition
Non c0nstat that gentlemen would nut vote for
it, standing alone, although they voted against
it when connected with other matter.
Some of my friends appear to have been
frightened by what said in regard to leaping
over the halfway mark, and therefore did not
vote for my amendment will say now, that
will only 60 to the halfway mark, and Shall
not go across the line.
