"YOur COMMITTEES would report that
/ the rules submitted are. with two ex-
ceptlons, those Oi the last national convention,
which are substantially the ssme those Of
| the conventions oi 1850 and 1854. These rules
l were found TO work smoothly, and With an
amendment adopting the rules OF the house OF
representatives of the Fiiiy-irst congress and
! a new rule inserted proposing that a motion TO
! table an amendment shall not carry with II or
] prejudice the pending measure, il is believed
| they will be satisfactory 10 the convention.
/ Your committee deemed il proper TO reco gnize
! specifically the rules Of the last republicans.
| house of representatives under which action
| progress and results were made possible, a.
against the rules of the present house, which
permit indehnite flibustering, obstruc&
ton and Don-sction, except when .
report from the committee OF rules ic
| presented a tyranny hitherto unknown iE
| American history. With the new rule proc
posed. by which sn amendment may be seps-
| rated from the pending measure and tabled, it
suoh be the wish of the convention, withouS
carrying with it or prejudicing such measure, is
the present rule OF the L. s. senate and is in
| harmony with advanced parliamentary prao-
! tice. Since the Forty-eiRhth congress this has
| been q rule Of the senate, and as We have pres-
| ent with us today large number OF senator's
in delegate representative capacity, should dis,
/ cussion be determined upon that proposition,
| which is wholly in the interest Of lhs expedi.
| tion of business and tile saw ug of the delay OF
roll-cals. / very cure tnst they VIII lndorse,.
as your committee has deemed wise, the report
| of that rule which means accslerailOn and
