Mr.. THOMAS G. FIELDS of New-YOrk rose 10
question OF privilege. lie saw on the floor num-
Der Of persons who were not eutIted 10 tue priyl-
lege. He desired. on the part Of the Democratic
members of this House, TO say that they wonld re-
fuse TO enter upon the discharge Of any business u
lees the rules were strictly enforced. He had wit
messed last night scene which he hoped never to
zee renewed. A large body of Republican pOliti-
clans, beaded by prominent Republican lawyer OF
New-Yolk, bimself prominent candidate for the
United States Senate bad rushed on the Hoor taking
possession of the Assembly chamber and debating as
TO what should be the action Of its members. lie
had witnessed also, be regretted TO say, number Of
the former occupants Of the Clerks desk for the past
two or three days, prompting the CLERK and eieav-
pring to find rules aud precedents for attempts TO
game this House in their manner by violating
the rights of members on this floor.
He (Eields) declared that the Democratic party
WAS the party of law and Order and their opponents
were the advocates Of lawlessness and disorder.
he appealed TO the spectators to those IN the obbes
and the galleries. TO all the friends of the Democratic
party, to keep perfect order, and thus defeat the
aim of the Republicans TO create disorder here. He
warned all true Democrats that it was the desire OF
the Republicans TO force them into apparent disorder
and then TO charge disorder upon them. This was
the trap prepared by the Republican politicians foI
running this machine.
