At the night session of the House. last
evening, Mr.. West concluded the discus
siou on the resolution of censure. The
scene was a brilliant one the Hall WAS
crowded and the lobbies and galleries
! filled 10y members and spectators. The
| defendant, Dressed, was absent, and hal
| been during the entire day, but the inter
est in the subject under discussion had
increased from the first, and eliminated
when at the close of powerful speech
10y Mr.. West, which would seem TO carry
conviction TO the heart of every hearer,
the previous question was moved on the
adoption of the resolution.
There is II stir all over the Hall--a score
of members are OH their feet striving for
recognition from the chair Mr.. Speaker
Mr.. ,SU.aker-Mr. SPEAKER. resounded
through the Hall; but quietly, mean
while, the words second" :. third. -
g fourth. - fifth" are heard, and the re-
quisite demand tor the previous question
is had.
But two motions are now in Order-to
adjourn, and to lay on the table. Both
are shouted simultaneously, and the mo-
ton to adjourn takes precedence A
SlOuJ pulll, Tctl ldCtu anu usually ROOu
natured member from Democra- ic
county in the Northwest is getting excl
ted, and standing square on both feet in
the middle of an aisle, is shouting MR..
SPEAKER, in a manner which would en-
danger lungs Of any material of less
strength than leather.
The gentleman from - will re-
sumo his seat" says the Speaker, mildly,
but the gentleman from -- has no
notion of doing any such thing, and con-
tinues his frantic efforts to get the award
of the floor. The Speaker announces
discussion not in order and directs the
Sergeant-at-arms to see that the noisy
member takes his seat, to which the
member responds that he is able to sit
down without any help from the Ser
geant-at-arms, and subsidies
The motion to adjourn is lost-the mo-
ton to lay on the table is Withdrawn, and
the House sustains the previous question.
A few raps from the speakers gavel, and
sufficient quiet is had to take the vote,
which results in the adoption of the res
olutions. yeas fifty-two, nays twenty-five
1t is as follows, and sufficiently explains
itself:
WHEREAS, Joint resolutions passed the
other branch of the General Assembly
condemning the existing rebell-
ion, and, whereas, Otto Dressed, u men,
Der of this House, offered as a substitute
therefor, series of resolutions treasona-
bic in spirit. disloyal in sentiment, and
alike to the country and those
engaged in its defence; and whereas, it
is declared in said resolutions that 1.-The
Conscrlption Law recently passed by
Congress, Is subversiye of the sovereign
ty and rights of the States, and designed
to make them mere dependencies upon
the Central Government, unconstitution-
al in its provisions, and dangerous to the |
liberties of the people and whereas,
said resolutions further deliberately |
lvow that the liberties of the people are |
by Congressional and Federal |
and can only be preserved |
by the energetic action of State authori- |
ty, and we are determined to maintain |
and defend the honor of our State and |
the rights of her people;" therefore:
ResoLUed, That in the judgment of this
House, said resolutions invite attempted |
publication of Federal law, and resist
ince by this State to Federal authority |
md are calculated in their tendency TO |
create sedition and rebellion among the
people of this State; therefore be it fur

ReSoLced, That for the introduction of
.hese resolutions into this House, Otto
Dressed be and is hereby censured as a
promoter of sedition and disunion, giving
hereby aid and comfort TO the enemies
