This happy combination of Tonio nnd Cathartio powers, by which the stomacn and bowels are disengaged of their redundant vitiated secretions, has hitherto been a desideratum. While it strengthens and invigorates the digestive powers, it successfully cum-bats the Grand IlrnRA, Dyspepsia, produces neither sickness nor nuuion, and without nny interference with either tho ordinnry food or occupation of tho patient, restores the person to 7ie landof promise, that health and vigor ol body and mind from which ho had fallen. A few boxes will generally ba found rfmlioient for the removal uf the most inveterate case of Dyspepsia: thoy nro not only sovereign, but also an immediate romcdyi at least so far immediate, as any medicine oan bo so called, i .nr,l in ihi limn renuirod for operntion. It certainly must bo obvious, that the evils of Ihomoniicr, wmcn mcc mm were designed to euro, will bo lessened in proportion to their morn extensive use. I his may wear the Rppnaraiico of hypothesis, as assertions of mcdiuinci often do; but when authenticated by so many experiments, all produoing the same salutary results, wo arc divested of doubt in their uso, and enjoy the unclouded certainty.

I am happy in having it in my power to offer to the world a remedy that will not only remove the pain, but nreserve tho teeth from further decay, and detach the carious matter from such as have not commenced aching, nnd remove the tartar nnd nil other filth from the teeth, restoring them to health and usefulness.

Having found, however, that the name of his Hotel, which he originnlly adopted, "Congress flail," subjected him to many inconveniences in consequence of the proprietor of a Puhlio Establishment in his immediate vicinity hnving assumed the same title, and being unwilling by a continuance of the present name of bis House, to embarrass his neighbor, as well as himself, he has resolved on changing tho same to Ihut of NIIILO'S HOTEL. No situation in this city can present moro advantages to permanent and tiiinsienl guests, than Niui.n's Hotel. Its central location, being near the principal places nf nniiisemeut, and its vicinity to the public offices and husiuess part of the town, lender it n inoit desirable resort for families or gentlemen engaged in commercial or other pursuits.

This result I anticipated. I could perceive a strong inclination among the most supple of tho President's adherents, and the federal portion of what is termed the Clay party, to delay, as far as practicable, the discussion of this question. The fodcral gentlemen do not act inconsistently, in adopting this course. , Thoy frankly avow their object. They say, they oro for testing the strength of the General Government. They are for putting down S. Carolina viet amies. Those Jacksonmen, who were originally federalists, and who at heart have ever remained so, although pretending to bo democrats, roinind me of i good Royal song which my friend Hyde de JVeuville used to hum, "On rcvlenno loujoiirs,' "A ses premiers ainnurs." "We always come bark to our first loves." I have considered indiscreet and impolitic, if not unwarrantable, any attempt against South Carolina, by employing the "standing army." I have never doubted that coercion would produce, ultimately, a Southern confederacy. I have neither justified nor condemned the policy of Carolina. I have only spoken of tier situation, and the rclativo situation of the Southern Stales, as they existed: and I have freely expressed my opinion of the effect of the threatened measures of the administration. I am warranted in saying, that few men have a better opportunity of judging of tho feeling of these peoplo than I have. The flame is extending. It is no longer confined to S. Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, &.c. 7'ennM-see, yes, Tennessee is about to break the spell which seems to have bound her exclusively, to the interests of an individual. A portion of her representation in Congress, know the truth of this remark. They know that the proclamation lias been received in certain districts of their State, with sensations of indignation, equal to those exhibited by South Carolina and Georgia. I do not speak hastily, or without being well advised, when I say, il 1 deemed it proper, I could call upon a devoted friend of Gen. Jackson in Congress, and not a silent member either, to sustain me in this declaration. I know he would bo too honorable to deny Ihe fact. In such times, those who are prudent will not remain with folded arms until the apprehended evils aro upon them. Let the men of wealth, and the property holders in your city, look to the coming crisis. The l'residcnl anu nis iricaus navo uo-termined on the destruction of the Dank of the United States. Every commercial man every mn the least scquainted with financial affairs evory man understanding the nature of our circulating medium, which is paper, not in reality based upon gold and silver, but public confidence; evory such man clcaily perceives the distress and ruin, which inevitably flows from this Executive project. But, if to this evil is odded a civil war, and possibly a separation of the Union, what is to be the fate of your city, the quoen of cities in this hemisphere? The enterprise of your people lias extended throughout the Southern and Western Ststes. Their trade has contributed to reir those splendid edifices, which have sprung up omong you, as if by magic. All that social and commercial intercourse, itihleh hia heretofore existed, is to be an nihilated. All those ties growing oiH of that intercourse, aro iiiiibsciciou. m depression in your landed estate cannot be .le.iUipd. A starnation in trade will leave your houses and your stores without occupants, ine consequences mum direful; and yet, while they are staring you ;ii, fneo it iiaaid. vour merchants, and your property holders, aro crying aloud for . .' t C l, r--.nl;.. nm ultiilf-t Blltl. 11)0 DIOOU OI OOUlll uiuiiiio, s ..-j-- - mission. We oro told, they preach the old lory doctrine "Passive obedience, and non-resistance." Can this be true? II true, what infatuation. The committee on Msnufacturci hsve eom tn no conclusion. They appear to be strangely organized. They cannot agree upon any thing. H is understood that Mr Adams, their chairman, wishes a statement or estimate, from the proper departments, of Ihe probable diminution of revenue from the secession of South Carolina? and also an estimate of the probable expense ol eonmieriiiir her.

DERATE, in the House of Representatiecs of Ohio, Thursday, January J, on an appeal by jlfr Wiiitti-kbev from the decision of the Chair, that a certain class of Petitions eould not be received, when no evidence was produced that the requisite notice had been given; the question oewg, thk DECISION' Of THE BTKAXER CORRECT !" Ma Wortiiinotox: I have listened with great attention to the remarks of Ihe gentlemen opposed to the decision of the chuir, with nn anxious desiro to givo due weight to all the nrcuinents they huvo produced to prove that the rule luid down by the chair, I ! . , n... ..ii i. :...,(: i is not correct, win, sir, uu mw tion this subject has hitherto received, has only served to confirm my opinion ns to the constitutionality of the law, which is the basis of that decision! and its being equnl- ly binding on tho members of this General I . i " . I. :.!...!, u,l.rt l.nv.. netitioncd. "The people have a right to as AssemuiT. as on wis mm, - ...... semhle together in a pencciihle maimer, to consult for their common good, to instruct their Representatives, and to apply to the Legislature lor a redress of grievances." So says the 19lh section of the Bth nrticle of the Constitution of Ohio. But, sir, this right of instruction nnd petition would in vain be granted, unless tho Legislature had a right to prescribe tho mode in which the petitions shall bo presented to this House. Let us suppose that nil restrictions as lo Ihe manner of exercising this privilego were token off; nnd that multitudes of individual! were permitted to present their petitions, viu vo and in person on this floor is thcro any person of common understand ing, who docs not see nt once, tno contusion that would necessarily result, nnd the power that would be given to individiinls to render nugatory tho constitutional right given to the people to present their cluiins before this body I The power of regulation of the presentment of petitions, is, therefore, incident to the power of decision upon them, and absolutely necessary to render efficient nnd valuable the right to petition. If then the law regulating petitions is constitutional, the members of this General Assembly are as much subject to its operation as any others of the peoplo of Ohio. Tho iden of its being a mere rule binding only on the members of the Legislature who passed it, ns advocated by the gentlcmnn from Muskingum, I am bound to believe his serious opinion, as it was urged with apparent seriousness in debate; but I may be permitted to observe, that he cannot havo examined with much attention a position so untenable. Sir, I consider it the low of tliclnnd, e-qnally binding on all Ihe members of this community, nod as sucti, tnai wo arc oounn to obey it, if not in contravention to the Constitution, the pnrniuount law, and so long as it remains unsuspended and unre pealed. But it has Dcen nrgeu, Dy me gcniicmnn from l'ortiigc, thnt a grievance may occur in a neighborhood during the session of the Legislature, or within 3d days before its as sembling, nnd that if this rule of notice required by the statute be adopted, the constitutional right of petition would be taken awny. Not so, sir. To Ibis General Assembly the high prerogative ol suspenu-ing, when necessary, the operation of our laws, is given by the 9th section of the 8th nrticle of the Constitution. Such cases arc rare, but the remedy is provided. But, sir, how is tho operation of a law to be suspended! Is a law that hns gone through all the parliamentary forms iu both brunches of this Legislature, to be suspended by the mere hasty voleol lonve ol one House, and that too on not even a five minutes no tice 1 No, sir: this law may be suspended according to parliamentary form by both brunches of the Legislature, or it may be repealed; but I repeat thnt so long as it remains on theslntute book unsuspended und unrepealed, ws nre as much bound by it ns tbeso netilioners. I cannot go with the gen tleman from Portage, that tbero is one law for tho petitioners and another for the members of this House. But. sir. I insist thnt the Inw requiring notice when there are conflicting claims, is not only constitution!!!, but highly just nnd expedient. This law was passeu ill ino session of 1821-23: has been sniictioneil by several succeeding Legislatures, und is again reprinted with the revised laws of 1830-31 ; ami I cannot now consent that it should be thrown nside without exnuiiniitiou as useless lumber. Sir. this Legislature, where there nre con flictimr interests, must necessarily act in n judicial cnpncity,in deciding between those interests. What then wouiu oe inougui o. a tribunal, of tho lust resort, should it de termine imnortuiit cases on ex parte evi dence by permitting one pnrty to come be-foro it und tell his story, without giving the other party an opportunity of being henrd! Sir, the liberality of such a course, might, mid no doubl would, he greatly commended hrnnf-of the nnrties; hut to the other pnr ty and to disinterested persons it would rightly seem ouiy a mocnerj oi t IlltYf I"'1"'1 lnr'g' rglu'ed o.f Juoha practice prevailing in Turkey uud othur do-spotio government! of tho old world: 1 I ope . however they are not true. But, in a Irce mid enlightened country, for tho representative! of the people, to undertake to de-cido question! which mny vitnlly affect the interest onu nappincss oi us ciuieui, uu a nntilion bv one party to a controversy, and I . - . . . when no uoiico us urcu josh -u .-, I did not even imagine tu be a lupposnoic case, sir, ino sunpiu iiuikiih.ii v, proposition, is the best aigiiiiicnl ogninsi ine iidootion of luch a course. I hold then, thnt the Legisluturo of the Stuto hai tho right, and thnt it ii their bounden duty, to prescribe in what manner petitions shall ber presented; becuuso if no such rulo were prescribed, the benefit! aris ing from this privilego would bo a mere nui liiv. 'Therefore, tominrd this right, to ex tend ill benefit! equally to nil, the Legisla tive rule requires that when tno privnio interests of individual! may bo iilicctcd by granting tho prayer of n petition, n rea-.nnnhln notice ihiill bo given so thilt both purtiei ibnll equally be hoard where ineir conflicting claims are to bo deoided upon by tho General Assembly, ll,.t it has been urged ngainst the decis ion of tho chair, and tho Inw upon which it is founded, that it will, in many cases, be impossible to denido whether tho petitions HVaaclllriL nro such ns conic within the ope ration of the law. Sir, from tho title of the petition, it enn in almost all eases be told whether if granted it would affect the rights of individuals so as to bring it within the operation of tho slutute, and if any doubt! exist, they may ha removed by rend-ini; the petition as 1 do not understand the decision of the chair to exclude such rending when necessary, but to decide that where petitions nro presented, which evidently might affect private rights, such petitions ennuot be referred to committees, or made the basis of the action of this House, unless notice has been given in conformity to law, although us before observed, they may be reud i u order to ascertuin their ob- jct- . Sir, I have mid nil Hint 1 nau io lay on this subject; and in conclusion will only repent, that 1 believe this law lo be conili-tutional. I alio believe it to be a just and necessary law, and thut it ii equally binding upon the member! of this Home ai upon any other persons in the opimnnity. I. shall therefore vote in favor oi the decisioa of the chair, and hope it will be snstnined. Mr Allen: Sir, I have considered the decision of the chair with somo attention, in order to ascertain whether it is inconsis tent with tho law contained in the statute. I had no idea thnt there could be hair so much said, as lias already been said, on this subject. Sir, we find a law in our statute, passed in IB'ii, on which the Speaker has now given a dear-ion: now, in KI3, some four or live gentlemen rise up and tell you that law is unconstitutional. I do not rise to inquire whether the decision of the chair is correct, out 1 rise to inquire wueuier u in accordance w ith the law as it now stands. If the law is unconstitutional, thatforms an other question; that is, the best mode or getting rid of it. Hut, sir, I find the decision of tho chair strictly in accordance with the law as it now is, and 1 snail inereioro feel niypnlf bound to give my vote, in favor of that decision. I am nnrfectlv willinr that the Houie should ho ruled bv the laics; but, sir, I must confess that I have some doubts of the propriety of its being ruled entirely by iati- yerJ: .... t air 1'aioe: rts mis secniB iu uu hu"-tion of considerable importance, I feel that I cannot do less than very briefly to express my views with regard to it: the more it is discussed, the more important I view it. While tho tentleman from llrown, (Mr. Campbell) was speaking, I had occasion to turn to tlio law itself, and I must confess that 1 have seen no objection, in the provisions -of the law, to the most humble in dividual petitioning this body. 1 no third section of the law mokes it the duly of the Speaker to inquire of the member presen-tinrr a petition, whether notice has been given; bul there is nothing in that section to prevent us from receiving petitions, where notice lias not been given. Now, Mr Speaker, where such notice has been given, tho petitions should be re. ceived we have no power to reject them. Ilut where notice has not been given, it ii optional with the Legislature whether to receive mem or noi; dui sureiy u oujiu to havo ihcm read. Now. will the Leg is- laiuro. in their deliberative capacity, when assembled here for the purpose of legisla ting fur the people, 1 say, will lliey lorm themselves: into an sristocraticol body, and say their fellow citixens shall not express their views, or their grievances, by peti tions! I hope not. The nolicv of the law is this: The Speaker shall put the interrogatory, rela. live to the nolico, to the member who introduces the polition, for the purpose of putting this House on its gusrd. The in-inrmiratorv induces an inquiry into all the circumstances of the matter, and should it bo discovered that any advantage had been taken, in getting up the petitions, tney ought to be rejected. And on the other hand, where notice has been given by the petitioners, they must oe nesru, ana win be brought forward and read in their place. Din House nave no rigni io oujeci. We all nrroo as to the impositions which have been practised, and which moy again be practised, by designing petitioners, with- T , I... .1.1. lln...A Wa ll mlM oui uue enru, uy hub isuuo.-. . v in regard to the final disposition to be made of improper petitions; but wo differ widely on tho course to bo adopted in acting on them. If the Iloueo hod suitsined my mo-linn to refer to the ttanding committee on Roods ond Highways, the petition which I presented this morning, ond that committee had taken the same under a nsideration, and reported a bill thereon, 1 must hove voted against it. I knew, however, they would not report s bill, unless tlio subject matter in the petition required it. I thought we should recoive the petition, sa far ot least os to hove it read. I made a motion that the reading of the petition in that instance might be dispensed with, te save time. In consequence of my making this motion, the petition hae never been read, and the House knows not what it contains. If the petition had been read, all would hove heard the many grievancee .vliii-li am set forth in the petition. The petitioners ask the review of a certain road running through their farms, in such a msnner as is calculated greatly to injure twin. j Tito itrctl luli if Ol COiilS bu the House, and indeed the House knows nothing about them. Should the decision of the choir Dccomo esiaunnieu am a rum here, in a short period we shall receive no petitions ol oil. III li noi leou io hub: The fact is, by esianiisning sucn a ruur, will deprive our constituents ol the privilege of petitioning to this House; a privi lege, however, wmcn I win support as long as 1 occupy a seat on this floor, lorn more limn willing that this privilege should be extended ond secured toevery citizen, evon to the humblest individual; and should the subjects prayed for, not bo of a nature to be granted, wo can dispenso with such poti tions. Mr Matthew-si This, sir, is an important question, both lo the members of thii Legislature ond to the people of the Slate, inasmuch as it involves a question which is intended to govern both. Notwithstanding its importance, it is with extreme reluctance that I arise to address the Speaker in an opinion different from that wmcn ne has aiven. It appears to me, so far as I am able to judgo of this matter, that the only question is, now lor a previous uegim.iu.w may prescribe rules for Ihe government of a subsequent one. I apprehend, sir, that this Legislature lias no power over the next; nor con it prescribe ony rule whatever for its government which ill be in ihe least degree binding; ond tho reason must be obvious la every ono, because the power ii precisely equal, But, sir, if the ueclsioa prevail, thie ,Cra,, W. S. SULLIVANT. the must reasonable terms.

Having found, however, that the name of his Hotel, which he originnlly adopted, "Congress flail," subjected him to many inconveniences in consequence of the proprietor of a Puhlio Establishment in his immediate vicinity hnving assumed the same title, and being unwilling by a continuance of the present name of bis House, to embarrass his neighbor, as well as himself, he has resolved on changing tho same to Ihut of NIIILO'S HOTEL.

This result I anticipated. I could perceive a strong inclination among the most supple of tho President's adherents, and the federal portion of what is termed the Clay party, to delay, as far as practicable, the discussion of this question. The fodcral gentlemen do not act inconsistently, in adopting this course. , Thoy frankly avow their object. They say, they oro for testing the strength of the General Government. They are for putting down S. Carolina viet amies. Those Jacksonmen, who were originally federalists, and who at heart have ever remained so, although pretending to bo democrats, roinind me of i good Royal song which my friend Hyde de JVeuville used to hum, "On rcvlenno loujoiirs,' "A ses premiers ainnurs." "We always come bark to our first loves." I have considered indiscreet and impolitic, if not unwarrantable, any attempt against South Carolina, by employing the "standing army." I have never doubted that coercion would produce, ultimately, a Southern confederacy. I have neither justified nor condemned the policy of Carolina. I have only spoken of tier situation, and the rclativo situation of the Southern Stales, as they existed: and I have freely expressed my opinion of the effect of the threatened measures of the administration. I am warranted in saying, that few men have a better opportunity of judging of tho feeling of these peoplo than I have. The flame is extending. It is no longer confined to S. Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, &.c. 7'ennM-see, yes, Tennessee is about to break the spell which seems to have bound her exclusively, to the interests of an individual. A portion of her representation in Congress, know the truth of this remark. They know that the proclamation lias been received in certain districts of their State, with sensations of indignation, equal to those exhibited by South Carolina and Georgia. I do not speak hastily, or without being well advised, when I say, il 1 deemed it proper, I could call upon a devoted friend of Gen. Jackson in Congress, and not a silent member either, to sustain me in this declaration. I know he would bo too honorable to deny Ihe fact. In such times, those who are prudent will not remain with folded arms until the apprehended evils aro upon them. Let the men of wealth, and the property holders in your city, look to the coming crisis. The l'residcnl anu nis iricaus navo uo-termined on the destruction of the Dank of the United States. Every commercial man every mn the least scquainted with financial affairs evory man understanding the nature of our circulating medium, which is paper, not in reality based upon gold and silver, but public confidence; evory such man clcaily perceives the distress and ruin, which inevitably flows from this Executive project. But, if to this evil is odded a civil war, and possibly a separation of the Union, what is to be the fate of your city, the quoen of cities in this hemisphere? The enterprise of your people lias extended throughout the Southern and Western Ststes. Their trade has contributed to reir those splendid edifices, which have sprung up omong you, as if by magic. All that social and commercial intercourse, itihleh hia heretofore existed, is to be an nihilated. All those ties growing oiH of that intercourse, aro iiiiibsciciou. m depression in your landed estate cannot be .le.iUipd. A starnation in trade will leave your houses and your stores without occupants, ine consequences mum direful; and yet, while they are staring you ;ii, fneo it iiaaid. vour merchants, and your property holders, aro crying aloud for . .' t C l, r--.nl;.. nm ultiilf-t Blltl. 11)0 DIOOU OI OOUlll uiuiiiio, s ..-j-- - mission. We oro told, they preach the old lory doctrine "Passive obedience, and non-resistance." Can this be true? II true, what infatuation. The committee on Msnufacturci hsve eom tn no conclusion. They appear to be strangely organized. They cannot agree upon any thing. H is understood that Mr Adams, their chairman, wishes a statement or estimate, from the proper departments, of Ihe probable diminution of revenue from the secession of South Carolina? and also an estimate of the probable expense ol eonmieriiiir her.

DERATE, in the House of Representatiecs of Ohio, Thursday, January J, on an appeal by jlfr Wiiitti-kbev from the decision of the Chair, that a certain class of Petitions eould not be received, when no evidence was produced that the requisite notice had been given; the question oewg, thk DECISION' Of THE BTKAXER CORRECT !" Ma Wortiiinotox: I have listened with great attention to the remarks of Ihe gentlemen opposed to the decision of the chuir, with nn anxious desiro to givo due weight to all the nrcuinents they huvo produced to prove that the rule luid down by the chair, I ! . , n... ..ii i. :...,(: i is not correct, win, sir, uu mw tion this subject has hitherto received, has only served to confirm my opinion ns to the constitutionality of the law, which is the basis of that decision! and its being equnl- ly binding on tho members of this General I . i " . I. :.!...!, u,l.rt l.nv.. netitioncd. "The people have a right to as AssemuiT. as on wis mm, - ...... semhle together in a pencciihle maimer, to consult for their common good, to instruct their Representatives, and to apply to the Legislature lor a redress of grievances." So says the 19lh section of the Bth nrticle of the Constitution of Ohio. But, sir, this right of instruction nnd petition would in vain be granted, unless tho Legislature had a right to prescribe tho mode in which the petitions shall bo presented to this House. Let us suppose that nil restrictions as lo Ihe manner of exercising this privilego were token off; nnd that multitudes of individual! were permitted to present their petitions, viu vo and in person on this floor is thcro any person of common understand ing, who docs not see nt once, tno contusion that would necessarily result, nnd the power that would be given to individiinls to render nugatory tho constitutional right given to the people to present their cluiins before this body I The power of regulation of the presentment of petitions, is, therefore, incident to the power of decision upon them, and absolutely necessary to render efficient nnd valuable the right to petition. If then the law regulating petitions is constitutional, the members of this General Assembly are as much subject to its operation as any others of the peoplo of Ohio. Tho iden of its being a mere rule binding only on the members of the Legislature who passed it, ns advocated by the gentlcmnn from Muskingum, I am bound to believe his serious opinion, as it was urged with apparent seriousness in debate; but I may be permitted to observe, that he cannot havo examined with much attention a position so untenable. Sir, I consider it the low of tliclnnd, e-qnally binding on all Ihe members of this community, nod as sucti, tnai wo arc oounn to obey it, if not in contravention to the Constitution, the pnrniuount law, and so long as it remains unsuspended and unre pealed. But it has Dcen nrgeu, Dy me gcniicmnn from l'ortiigc, thnt a grievance may occur in a neighborhood during the session of the Legislature, or within 3d days before its as sembling, nnd that if this rule of notice required by the statute be adopted, the constitutional right of petition would be taken awny. Not so, sir. To Ibis General Assembly the high prerogative ol suspenu-ing, when necessary, the operation of our laws, is given by the 9th section of the 8th nrticle of the Constitution. Such cases arc rare, but the remedy is provided. But, sir, how is tho operation of a law to be suspended! Is a law that hns gone through all the parliamentary forms iu both brunches of this Legislature, to be suspended by the mere hasty voleol lonve ol one House, and that too on not even a five minutes no tice 1 No, sir: this law may be suspended according to parliamentary form by both brunches of the Legislature, or it may be repealed; but I repeat thnt so long as it remains on theslntute book unsuspended und unrepealed, ws nre as much bound by it ns tbeso netilioners. I cannot go with the gen tleman from Portage, that tbero is one law for tho petitioners and another for the members of this House. But. sir. I insist thnt the Inw requiring notice when there are conflicting claims, is not only constitution!!!, but highly just nnd expedient. This law was passeu ill ino session of 1821-23: has been sniictioneil by several succeeding Legislatures, und is again reprinted with the revised laws of 1830-31 ; ami I cannot now consent that it should be thrown nside without exnuiiniitiou as useless lumber. Sir. this Legislature, where there nre con flictimr interests, must necessarily act in n judicial cnpncity,in deciding between those interests. What then wouiu oe inougui o. a tribunal, of tho lust resort, should it de termine imnortuiit cases on ex parte evi dence by permitting one pnrty to come be-foro it und tell his story, without giving the other party an opportunity of being henrd! Sir, the liberality of such a course, might, mid no doubl would, he greatly commended hrnnf-of the nnrties; hut to the other pnr ty and to disinterested persons it would rightly seem ouiy a mocnerj oi t IlltYf I"'1"'1 lnr'g' rglu'ed o.f Juoha practice prevailing in Turkey uud othur do-spotio government! of tho old world: 1 I ope . however they are not true. But, in a Irce mid enlightened country, for tho representative! of the people, to undertake to de-cido question! which mny vitnlly affect the interest onu nappincss oi us ciuieui, uu a nntilion bv one party to a controversy, and I . - . . . when no uoiico us urcu josh -u .-, I did not even imagine tu be a lupposnoic case, sir, ino sunpiu iiuikiih.ii v, proposition, is the best aigiiiiicnl ogninsi ine iidootion of luch a course. I hold then, thnt the Legisluturo of the Stuto hai tho right, and thnt it ii their bounden duty, to prescribe in what manner petitions shall ber presented; becuuso if no such rulo were prescribed, the benefit! aris ing from this privilego would bo a mere nui liiv. 'Therefore, tominrd this right, to ex tend ill benefit! equally to nil, the Legisla tive rule requires that when tno privnio interests of individual! may bo iilicctcd by granting tho prayer of n petition, n rea-.nnnhln notice ihiill bo given so thilt both purtiei ibnll equally be hoard where ineir conflicting claims are to bo deoided upon by tho General Assembly, ll,.t it has been urged ngainst the decis ion of tho chair, and tho Inw upon which it is founded, that it will, in many cases, be impossible to denido whether tho petitions HVaaclllriL nro such ns conic within the ope ration of the law. Sir, from tho title of the petition, it enn in almost all eases be told whether if granted it would affect the rights of individuals so as to bring it within the operation of tho slutute, and if any doubt! exist, they may ha removed by rend-ini; the petition as 1 do not understand the decision of the chair to exclude such rending when necessary, but to decide that where petitions nro presented, which evidently might affect private rights, such petitions ennuot be referred to committees, or made the basis of the action of this House, unless notice has been given in conformity to law, although us before observed, they may be reud i u order to ascertuin their ob- jct- . Sir, I have mid nil Hint 1 nau io lay on this subject; and in conclusion will only repent, that 1 believe this law lo be conili-tutional. I alio believe it to be a just and necessary law, and thut it ii equally binding upon the member! of this Home ai upon any other persons in the opimnnity. I. shall therefore vote in favor oi the decisioa of the chair, and hope it will be snstnined. Mr Allen: Sir, I have considered the decision of the chair with somo attention, in order to ascertain whether it is inconsis tent with tho law contained in the statute. I had no idea thnt there could be hair so much said, as lias already been said, on this subject. Sir, we find a law in our statute, passed in IB'ii, on which the Speaker has now given a dear-ion: now, in KI3, some four or live gentlemen rise up and tell you that law is unconstitutional. I do not rise to inquire whether the decision of the chair is correct, out 1 rise to inquire wueuier u in accordance w ith the law as it now stands. If the law is unconstitutional, thatforms an other question; that is, the best mode or getting rid of it. Hut, sir, I find the decision of tho chair strictly in accordance with the law as it now is, and 1 snail inereioro feel niypnlf bound to give my vote, in favor of that decision. I am nnrfectlv willinr that the Houie should ho ruled bv the laics; but, sir, I must confess that I have some doubts of the propriety of its being ruled entirely by iati- yerJ: .... t air 1'aioe: rts mis secniB iu uu hu"-tion of considerable importance, I feel that I cannot do less than very briefly to express my views with regard to it: the more it is discussed, the more important I view it. While tho tentleman from llrown, (Mr. Campbell) was speaking, I had occasion to turn to tlio law itself, and I must confess that 1 have seen no objection, in the provisions -of the law, to the most humble in dividual petitioning this body. 1 no third section of the law mokes it the duly of the Speaker to inquire of the member presen-tinrr a petition, whether notice has been given; bul there is nothing in that section to prevent us from receiving petitions, where notice lias not been given. Now, Mr Speaker, where such notice has been given, tho petitions should be re. ceived we have no power to reject them. Ilut where notice has not been given, it ii optional with the Legislature whether to receive mem or noi; dui sureiy u oujiu to havo ihcm read. Now. will the Leg is- laiuro. in their deliberative capacity, when assembled here for the purpose of legisla ting fur the people, 1 say, will lliey lorm themselves: into an sristocraticol body, and say their fellow citixens shall not express their views, or their grievances, by peti tions! I hope not. The nolicv of the law is this: The Speaker shall put the interrogatory, rela. live to the nolico, to the member who introduces the polition, for the purpose of putting this House on its gusrd. The in-inrmiratorv induces an inquiry into all the circumstances of the matter, and should it bo discovered that any advantage had been taken, in getting up the petitions, tney ought to be rejected. And on the other hand, where notice has been given by the petitioners, they must oe nesru, ana win be brought forward and read in their place. Din House nave no rigni io oujeci. We all nrroo as to the impositions which have been practised, and which moy again be practised, by designing petitioners, with- T , I... .1.1. lln...A Wa ll mlM oui uue enru, uy hub isuuo.-. . v in regard to the final disposition to be made of improper petitions; but wo differ widely on tho course to bo adopted in acting on them. If the Iloueo hod suitsined my mo-linn to refer to the ttanding committee on Roods ond Highways, the petition which I presented this morning, ond that committee had taken the same under a nsideration, and reported a bill thereon, 1 must hove voted against it. I knew, however, they would not report s bill, unless tlio subject matter in the petition required it. I thought we should recoive the petition, sa far ot least os to hove it read. I made a motion that the reading of the petition in that instance might be dispensed with, te save time. In consequence of my making this motion, the petition hae never been read, and the House knows not what it contains. If the petition had been read, all would hove heard the many grievancee .vliii-li am set forth in the petition. The petitioners ask the review of a certain road running through their farms, in such a msnner as is calculated greatly to injure twin. j Tito itrctl luli if Ol COiilS bu the House, and indeed the House knows nothing about them. Should the decision of the choir Dccomo esiaunnieu am a rum here, in a short period we shall receive no petitions ol oil. III li noi leou io hub: The fact is, by esianiisning sucn a ruur, will deprive our constituents ol the privilege of petitioning to this House; a privi lege, however, wmcn I win support as long as 1 occupy a seat on this floor, lorn more limn willing that this privilege should be extended ond secured toevery citizen, evon to the humblest individual; and should the subjects prayed for, not bo of a nature to be granted, wo can dispenso with such poti tions. Mr Matthew-si This, sir, is an important question, both lo the members of thii Legislature ond to the people of the Slate, inasmuch as it involves a question which is intended to govern both. Notwithstanding its importance, it is with extreme reluctance that I arise to address the Speaker in an opinion different from that wmcn ne has aiven. It appears to me, so far as I am able to judgo of this matter, that the only question is, now lor a previous uegim.iu.w may prescribe rules for Ihe government of a subsequent one. I apprehend, sir, that this Legislature lias no power over the next; nor con it prescribe ony rule whatever for its government which ill be in ihe least degree binding; ond tho reason must be obvious la every ono, because the power ii precisely equal, But, sir, if the ueclsioa prevail, thie ,Cra,, W.
