II Members outside Of the county of Orleans,
he rccon-lderej.
Mr. THOMPSON favored the motion to re-
.,rsIder claiming that the members of the
c,rrtr can better arrange their own dOmes-
~. H.i-. than any outsiders, and they
r.-,ef the vrivilcge Of trying TO settle their
Jun differences II they failed, then they
r-on5 caH upon outside help. 1t was Gus
- =, submit such local matters to the
members of the county interested, and
stoutt he accorded now.
NJ Gr.u-. Of Newport, claimed that the
--.- IN Which the motion to submit to
I-,r-a-.e5 comm ttee was treated yester-
- q courteous and not 10 accordance
~ ,,...-e 10 such cases, and evInced
haste not IN accordance with propriety.
rEa hiIi yy4s referred to a disintcrested com
njttee Yesterday, and he hoped the motion
would not be recons ,dered, as 1t would be
virtually a submission of the question 70 Il
committee Of the county, which would be an
interested committee tie claimed ttat the
members from the county are already com
ritted on this question and 1t mIghtas well
be finally settled this morning by call OF
tre vces and nays of the members Of the
..urtv. as 10 submit it TO them as commit
,.. lie preferred a disinterested committee,
and iopcd the county would have such
committee.
N- Wilmarth. Of Coventry, favored the
matter beng submitted to the members OF
OLD. county, and hoped the motion to recon-
.a.r wauld prevail. Let the inhabitants OF
ur.an- say for themselves whether they
wanted j change; and sense OF justice
would induce the House to leave it TO the
utmfcrs ef the county.
Mr. Rogers, OF Newbury, said it was a
r-t % that more largely interested the in
.a5.t.ats of the county Of Orleans than any
u. .- rrrtjon of the State, and we should get
a full expression of the people of the county
through the members from the county.
Mr. Munson, yi Manchester, opposed the
..t.u 70 reconsider, claiming that the re-
..-- disint rested committee would in
t...lts more fully what was Just for the peo-
reut the county and the House could act
III understandingIy upon the report OF
sue. committee than with probably ma
.r.,7 and minority report from the mem
te-- & L. county.
Nr MHcs, III Albany, strongly urged the
u--..e It r.erring the matter 10 the mem
hers ,L thc county, and hoped the reference

Mr Carpenter. of Charleston, said the |
H-u ters 1i tie county were all preJudiced !
90 the question. and he preferred that out /
.Id,r- should hear 10th sides and make re- |
3 r- uTsu the matter.
9
egdeutly two parties on this question, and |
lt wa- wrong to force the decision Of the I
matter t. outsiders. when 1t must be finally /
-.-i-,d bv the inhabitants Of the county, 4
atd r. hoped Il would be left to the parties .
.H interest.
N- Henry. Jf Chester, said it was evident /
raat it.-e who favored the reference TO mem
.t-- rom the county had canvassed the coun-
.r ana knew their men. lie thought 1t
letter T. leave il to q disInterested commit
tf.
Mr. WiImarth, of Coventry, again urged
4 recousidcratiJn To allow the question to
te decided bv the members from the county.
Nr Or1nsbee If Brandon, opposed the mo-
ton 10 re-cous der. on tie ground that 1t was
evident that the members OF the county had
already settled the matter among themselves;
a,l their minds being already made up, and
the committee teing perhaps nearly equally
divided, We should have two reports, and the
House would then have 10 decide the ques
ron as between the two factions in the
r.uutv.
Nr. BlttclI, Of RiPton. favored the refer
rrre ID the members OF the county.
NH Grout, Of Newport. arose to correct
an erroneous impression to instructions by
towns he fact was only one town gave
a-- Instructions, and that town by only
l,rr men, after the meeting adjourned
Ilr. Muuson, Of Manchester, said that one
relIe- utatIve may represent a hundred men,
eEa5l or may represent a thousand, and that
tie voice OF those TWO representatives would
I.t lG equal.
Mr. Miles. Of Albany, said he believed it
V.s generally conceded that the representa-
t.ee from any town represented the wishes
utH majority Ofthe town. and that when the
refrc-cntatIve spoke lie spoke for a majority
a. d. town. whether for one hundred or one
tl.l~aud people As tJ Instructions, bis
tnl unanimously instructed him, and he
& cr5iare understood the wishes Of his town.
Nr Pingree Of Hartford, opr csed recon
p ration. believing that the House voted
ull.s-taudIDgly upon this question yester- r
1tv and thought IL far better that the mat
ter should be left to a committee Of dislnter-
e-'td members of the House.
Hr WIlmarth, Of Coventry, said he
Thought the action OF the House yesterday !
vas taken so hastily that it should have no
fleet ID the action this morning.
