form and recommended that they be now |

understand how they arrived at that con- |
clusiOn, because if the State of Tennessee |
had been out of the Union and only re- |
stored, no valid election for Representatives |
could have been had in August 1855.
Mr.. DAWES said after the numerous ex-
positions of the gentleman from Ohio he |
would ask the House for vote.

was agreed to, and the SPEAKER invited
the members from Tennessee TO come for
ward and take the oath. .s-.=

uplifted right hands took the oath sOlemnly
administered by the Speaker. The perfect
silence which was observed while the oath
was being administered was followed by |
applause. When the ceremony was over the |
Speaker stepped down and shook hands
with the members, who were then congrat-
ulated by groups of members. -...."
