NOT CANDIDATES.
Mr.. Rhea offered the following:
Whereas it is being circulated by the
press and otherwise that there are seye-
raj prospective candidates for Congress
in this General Assembly and whereas
this charge is based upon the alleged
grounds OF the number OF Buncomb u"
bills. resolutions, and speeches, TO the
delay of important public business and
whereas such accusations are unjust i'm
mutations upon q disinterested and pa
friotic body Of representatives OF the
people and whereas we ere DESTROYS OF
showing that we are only actuated by
the highest considerations OF the pubic
welfare therefore be 1t
Resolved (the House of Delegates
concuning). That the members OF the
Senate aud the House OF Delegates here
by pledge themselves not to be candl-
dates for Congress at the approaching
national election.
The reading of the paper produced a
ripple of laughter, and various ana SUI
dry motions, points OF order, &c, were
made. When about half an hour had
been consumed in such frivolity the
pending question was ordered, and the
Senate, by recorded vote, defeated the
resolution. the Chair exercising Its right
in voting all senators who were present
and not voting. On motion OF MIR. Der
~. the Clerk was directed to take no
note of these proceedings.
This looks like a body so busy that
night sessions are necessary to dispatch
the business before 1t.
