of debate. He said tina! the great ques-
tions of this Convention are yet to come
before il. He said that our mouths ire
not TO be shut when the great busine So IS
10 como up. Freedom OF debate
upon whatever the committees re-
port is necessary. He is willing ti.as the
President state when he is speaking too
long on any thing, and he will sis down.
He moves that this sweeping motion be
laid on the table. Judge Battle seconded
the motion. Others desire the uEfi nished
business to be taken up, and to settle
il. This prevails. The commi. tee to
prepare en- address to the Protestant
Episcopal Church, in Ireland, are Rev.
DIR. Perry, Rev. DR.. Adams, and Mr.. Ed
ward McCrady, of South Carolina. Judge
Battle addressed The House on the conati-
tutional question Of freedom Of debate.

Penn, would have the word "postv!aut'
struck cut, and the word i"applcant' in
serted. [, Was los by vote Of the H4uee.
It was moved that those seeking admission
to this ministry be called postulants b@fore,
and Candidates after, their admission TO
candidateship. Lost. Many members
wish this thing and that thing to be left
out or SO altered as to bear another con
struction. This matter has taken up the
whole session, and yet it is not advanced a
page, though the amended canons reach
to page 80. I suppose to morrow will be
used on this questson.
