Mr. Brigham OF Hydepark lad inten led TO make some
IA remarks On the adoption Of the resolution rauying he
stitutioual am en ieut but when h found
T. cling in favor Of the amendmgn he was discouraged
and thou. ht best hold his peace and offer this esolu
lion expressing the views the minority Of the House
Of the present diff Gu ties aud out for party dis

north aud south would be alAyed aud the adoption OF
such as made In THIS res button he believed
would accomplish Il. IL hurt his own feelings vote
against the articles q AmeIdment as Presenedi some
Of them were just and such as he would approve but
others he approve, and he was contraned TO
d vote against them a whole He would never vote to
repudAe the public debt which was one o those articles
but when coupled with Other al ees wateh he thought
Objectionable he obliged TO vote against them, as he
DID He hoped the house would adopt these solutions
Mr Miner Of Manchester offered an amendment, sub
sudag anew resolution as follows;
That phsrsds p1fuo- Of the states in this republic,
without alton, seeded ftom the union

That bsfore those states admitted TO represesen-
ta,ion congress ''iheJ shoed not only be rsPenent
IL but should show fiuis meet flr repentance They

who should come representing loyal eonsutuen Y;
When they do this member ON the rebel states should

Sc Mr Grover OF Wells opposed to both the resou-
NJ ton and the amendment because hey dla not 60 A'
had blocked the onward march OF freedom, and
he thouglt the proposition should be so framed as thai

Mr. Hubbard Of Stockbridge thought no one could b'
any more ready to yield every possible Cancellation fo
