Mr. Gilmnii demanded a cull of the House, which was had. The minority of the committee uu the Currency re commended the indefinite imstpoiiemunt uf the bill. The question being uu the iudeliuito postponement, Mr. SnruL'iie said Mu. Spkakmi : 1 am in favor of the indefinite postponement of this as well as nil other bank bills, wheth er of this, the better class so culled, or uf the " Wild cat" species, us introduced the other day by the mem ber from Belmont, ou this side of tliu House, which bill received its quietus by the decisive action nf the House. And. Mr. Speaker, in tuns acting, lam bill re llectiui! the opinions and expressed will id' tliu noble Democracy uf north-western Ohio, which I havo the honor to represent, lliey Know nine oi me preienu ed benefit resulting from the incorporation uf banks, but, Mr. Speaker, they know and fctt tho mjuries which have been iiuiicieu, aim rouncnes perpetrated by these ditguistnl monsters. North-western Ohio hns ever been a vacuum for the introduction of this worth less trash ; my constituents have often receive I bnuk bills lor lliu product oi ineir larnis hi some oi im a niiu markets on the Vabah and Erie Ciiual.nnd bo fore thev nnived home with the few dollars of bank bills iu exchange for their hard toil, ihe bubble hnd exploded, ami the bills worthless. During tho time of the construction of the Wabash and Erie Canal, more than half u million of this depreciated and worthless bank paper w as paid out n our public works in that part of the Slate, and the loss had to be boi lie iu most cases by the laborer and producer, who were rot died and cheated in many cuses ol their nil. With these practical lessons in the use of hunk pa- nine per, and tliu vivid recollection of tho blighting inll enco inflicted upon that community, it cannot be wondered that my constituents nit' prejudiced ngainst the use of every kind of bnuk paper and, sir, the) recoil back ns from a deadly foe nt the bam mention of a bank cinder. Aside then tioin ine experience my constituents have had iu tho use of a pa pur currency, thuy have other and more weighty objections tu the creation of banks uf issue and circulation. One of the lirst principles in tho creed uf tho De mocracy of my district, is, that the creation uf hanks lorn circulating medium ny me Legislature, is in direct violation of the constitution of the United States, as interpreted bv the aroat Amistlo ol Democracy Thoiuiis Jetterson, and the high and solemn warning of the father nf his country against tlio ml rex I uct ion uf bank corporations, and n paper currency into tliu tttates But these ate not all the objections which inv constit uents urge against the creation of these swindling nnd corrupt corporations. I hey, sir, are npjMisrd lo all Inws, which, when applied tu the people, operate uu- equully bv favoring the few, and impoverishing the many. Sir, the bunker is enabled to realice fmm his capital invested on an averngo uf nt least fifteen per cent, per uiuiniu, niter deducting nil losses, taxes uud expenses, ordinary and extruurdiuary in the management and control of the batiks, whilst thehard-working mechanic ur laborer, should he bo so fortunate as lo accumulate n hundred dollurs, ho cannot, under the laws ot this State, realize more than lour per cent, nf ler deducting taxes upon ills money, it loaned. Sir, this bill has stole its way into the House like a thief in the night. The sentinel that has been placed upon the outer wall by the Democracy of the State, to watch and give the alarm at the approach of the ene my has I een silent, and has sti fibred this bill to make its way through the Senate, uud that by the help of a Democratic vote, which vote decided the question on its final passage there. During the action of the Senate upon this bill, and since its passage, up to this time, the lins of the sentinel uf tho Democracy hat been closed, so far as condemning tho bill was concerned not, sir, by the tempting bribe ot a tew pieces oi silver, but something that suits his rotten and corrupt heart better, the expectation uf a few bank rags. Sir, thut cringing, truckling, and cowardly bank-bought Kuaveuiut "judos iscanoi mat duiioiiesi, rtmcu, uud cornipt political demagogue, who, in the confidence uf tho Democratic party, wus stationed to watch und protect with tho thunder tones uf the " Ohio States man, ' the principles nttU proiuBBions ol tue uemocranc party as set forth ut the eighth of January Convention of 1850. he theie presided over the deliberations uf that Convention, but iu this particular hns proved rec reant tu tlio confiding Democracy of the State, wneii he there presided, I read in the countenance of that bunk-bought traitor, his dishonest political heart, and over since havo been watch in K his dark und dumiiuble trenson, up to this time, until, to longer withhold his Bunineiul uud treacherous course would prove me rec-reat uf duty to my constituents. I hope this bill will bo postjMtned, and the House be purged Irom the foul blotch that disgrace the journals uf the Senate Mr. Loiter said that he approved of the remarks of the gentleman trom Defiance, uud was glad to meet him again upon true Democratic ground. Mr. Sprugue. Does tho gentleman approve of and subscribe to the remarks iu relation to the Editor of the Statesman? Mr. Leitor. Tho Editor of thoStntebinati is the judge of his own course, and 1 am the judge of mine. He is doubtless guided by his own motives nnd opinions, I havo an equal liberty. Mr. SprtiL'iie. DoA the ecntleinnn approve ol the si lence ol the Statesman in regard lo the passage of this bill 7 Mr. Lei ler. I do nut. The Statesman should have sounded the alarm, and given the notice broad and wuiu mrnugnoui mo omie. i mysen neeueu no nonce. My apprehensions had been aroused. I feared all along that tho guardians of the democratic principle would be silenced, and that this bill would pass the Senate and come dowu hero to be the source of discord and disturbance, if not worse, iu the democratic party in this House. If this bill were submitted to the 3,800 votes of Slack county, very few indeed would be found to vote fur it. It would gut a lighter vote thnu General Taylor, and I am sorry that tliu bill has come hero bv the nid of Dem- ! ocr&tic votes, nnd mora than all, that the dissenter from i the general uctiou ot the party, is tu be found in the person of my own democratic Senator from the demo cratic county of Stark. 1 bavo nothing to say against tho senator irom HtarK. It is he who must answer to the people for his course. I do not believe that in this act, ho represents ihe sentiments of ten democrats uf Stuik county. I do not, however, impugn Ins motives, lliey aro doubt less pure nnd honorable ns is the Senator himself. But with me it is di lie rent. Before I would vote for that or tiny other banking institution, I would have my right nun taken off. i do not charge that this, more than any other Bank has swindled the conunuuitv- They nreidl dishonest, and have been guilty of improper und swindling prac tices. 1 his is one o ihe class, and i am sorry to say. iu relation to Ihe Senator from Stark, thai ho has full ed to stand up to the warfare when the enemy came. Mr. Dalzell said, I shall vote for the bill. My constituents wish me lo go for it, and I shall do so. Wo are obliged by existing laws in the Stale tu have banks, and 1 think this bank lias us good a right us any tu live with the rest. Mr. Leitor. Is is possible that here, in the heart of the Slate, such political heresies us these are uttered and practiced ou 1 Is it possible, that the Democracy ol r rank I in county is m lavor ut this bill r 1 cannot believe it. I should like to know how the so transactions correspond with the declarations of the Convention ol the 8th of Jauunry. Mr. Leitor rend tho Hnrd money resolutions of January 8th, nnd commented ou them. If Democrats are to come to this if thev are thus, on inducements like this to obaudon tho principles of the party, they may as well dig their own graves and creep into them and die. If the Democracy uf Franklin county will sustnin such a bill, or their men will vute for it, I have no nf-; tinity for them. 1 can never sustain such a pluiform, j and call myself n Democrat. ' Buf so H is! We have, on this and other occasions been bet raved by our own friends! On another occasion, iu the case ot the Bank ul Woostor, iu spite of I ihe remonstrances of those who foresaw the evil, the bill was passed, and the result wns that tho people were shaved out of half a million of dollar. 1 hud hoped that no Democratic representative would rise in his place and tell tho representatives of 150,000 Ueiiiocrals in Ulno, thut hf would go tor urn a bill. wish if there is any other gentlemen ou the Demo-nilic sido uf this House, who intends Iu vole for this bill, he would stand up, and let it be known who he is. Mr. Givcu arose. Mr. Leitor. Then 1 am to understand thut the iren- tlemau who represents the Democratic county of H oluies, is going to lend himself tu aid in the passage 1 of this bill. 1 hoiie that iu doing w he will not claim thut ho represents the Demo-ru tic puily or its principles. I cannot believe that in so doing he represents the sentiments of the strong Democratic majority in the county of Holmes. Hud I been going to look for n man who would support this bill, I would not have thought of looking for liim nt No. 72, nt the American House, (Mr. Uiveu s room ) Ami I cannot believe that the gentleman from Frank-Uu ,-epreseiit the sentiments of the Democratic party it r ruukliu county. Mr. Halell said lie tlloiiL'hl lie did. Mr. Leiter. Then the Democracy of Franklin cotin- .vis an exception, a sort uf proviso, tu come in ut lie eud of tho Democratic party of the rest of the .Unto. A paper wns handed tu Mr. Letter. Mr. Loiter. I find here a scrap of paper which in forms mo that there is another gentleman on this floor who hns determined to vote in luvor ol the passage ol tlio bill now before the House. Sir, I regret it. I had lumen that nu more uf our party in this Houne would be found pursuing the course of tho represen tative irom rmnkiiu. Mr. Given had nut designed to utter a word upon this question, but ho felt called upon to define his m sitiou. He was a hnnl-motiey Democrat, tie had made tliu lirst anti-bank hard-money speech ever made in the noble little couuty of Holmes. Hud 1 the ow er, 1 would annihilate every banking institution in tin-State of Ohio, and sweep il from the earth as wilh the besom nf destruction. He adopted this as the only available course whi h was open to destroy the entire system ui state naiikuig m unio. no wns tor turning ns oiuienea sgaiusi linen, ouu mnke one bank blow up the rust. If this bill is to change ur incrensc tho power uf the present batikiug system, I would vote against it. I represent n Democratic, linrd-iiioiiey constituency, and I honestly believe, us firmly as 1 believe anything, that I am aiding to pull down the system; nnd I am proud at the recollection, that in this 1 havo ihe firmness to vote upon any cumviclious, whatever may the conse- nueiiccs be.

Ho wns prepared to vote for the resolution and to vote for it, but he believed thnt it tho vote wus taken on the resolution now it would bo so mutilated that we might ut last be ashamed of it. Mr. Payne seconded the motion.

Mr. Hoicomb wanted to know if it would be in order to instruct theScrgeunt-al-At niB to procure a brace , of blood hounds to run dowu and secure the members. The Speaker said it wui not iu order. ed to dhcuotr, but not to injure or vorry, he would so fur them. 6 Mr. Leiter spoke iu censure of the course of the gentlemen, ami thought great inefficiency hod been exhibited in following them. Ho understood that the Sergeiuit-Hi-AiuiB hud despatched a very efficient posse ut Me-senger Boys, and he would inquire if any report had been received from thut officer.

Mr. Given, from the rtatidiiig committee ou the Cur rency, to which had been committed n bill to amend the net tu incorporate tho State Bunk uf Ohio, nnd o' tier Banking Companies, nnd recommended its pas- miL'e. Mr. Gilmnii demanded a cull of the House, which was had. The minority of the committee uu the Currency re commended the indefinite imstpoiiemunt uf the bill. The question being uu the iudeliuito postponement, Mr. SnruL'iie said Mu. Spkakmi : 1 am in favor of the indefinite postponement of this as well as nil other bank bills, wheth er of this, the better class so culled, or uf the " Wild cat" species, us introduced the other day by the mem ber from Belmont, ou this side of tliu House, which bill received its quietus by the decisive action nf the House. And. Mr. Speaker, in tuns acting, lam bill re llectiui! the opinions and expressed will id' tliu noble Democracy uf north-western Ohio, which I havo the honor to represent, lliey Know nine oi me preienu ed benefit resulting from the incorporation uf banks, but, Mr. Speaker, they know and fctt tho mjuries which have been iiuiicieu, aim rouncnes perpetrated by these ditguistnl monsters. North-western Ohio hns ever been a vacuum for the introduction of this worth less trash ; my constituents have often receive I bnuk bills lor lliu product oi ineir larnis hi some oi im a niiu markets on the Vabah and Erie Ciiual.nnd bo fore thev nnived home with the few dollars of bank bills iu exchange for their hard toil, ihe bubble hnd exploded, ami the bills worthless. During tho time of the construction of the Wabash and Erie Canal, more than half u million of this depreciated and worthless bank paper w as paid out n our public works in that part of the Slate, and the loss had to be boi lie iu most cases by the laborer and producer, who were rot died and cheated in many cuses ol their nil. With these practical lessons in the use of hunk pa- nine per, and tliu vivid recollection of tho blighting inll enco inflicted upon that community, it cannot be wondered that my constituents nit' prejudiced ngainst the use of every kind of bnuk paper and, sir, the) recoil back ns from a deadly foe nt the bam mention of a bank cinder. Aside then tioin ine experience my constituents have had iu tho use of a pa pur currency, thuy have other and more weighty objections tu the creation of banks uf issue and circulation. One of the lirst principles in tho creed uf tho De mocracy of my district, is, that the creation uf hanks lorn circulating medium ny me Legislature, is in direct violation of the constitution of the United States, as interpreted bv the aroat Amistlo ol Democracy Thoiuiis Jetterson, and the high and solemn warning of the father nf his country against tlio ml rex I uct ion uf bank corporations, and n paper currency into tliu tttates But these ate not all the objections which inv constit uents urge against the creation of these swindling nnd corrupt corporations. I hey, sir, are npjMisrd lo all Inws, which, when applied tu the people, operate uu- equully bv favoring the few, and impoverishing the many. Sir, the bunker is enabled to realice fmm his capital invested on an averngo uf nt least fifteen per cent, per uiuiniu, niter deducting nil losses, taxes uud expenses, ordinary and extruurdiuary in the management and control of the batiks, whilst thehard-working mechanic ur laborer, should he bo so fortunate as lo accumulate n hundred dollurs, ho cannot, under the laws ot this State, realize more than lour per cent, nf ler deducting taxes upon ills money, it loaned. Sir, this bill has stole its way into the House like a thief in the night. The sentinel that has been placed upon the outer wall by the Democracy of the State, to watch and give the alarm at the approach of the ene my has I een silent, and has sti fibred this bill to make its way through the Senate, uud that by the help of a Democratic vote, which vote decided the question on its final passage there. During the action of the Senate upon this bill, and since its passage, up to this time, the lins of the sentinel uf tho Democracy hat been closed, so far as condemning tho bill was concerned not, sir, by the tempting bribe ot a tew pieces oi silver, but something that suits his rotten and corrupt heart better, the expectation uf a few bank rags. Sir, thut cringing, truckling, and cowardly bank-bought Kuaveuiut "judos iscanoi mat duiioiiesi, rtmcu, uud cornipt political demagogue, who, in the confidence uf tho Democratic party, wus stationed to watch und protect with tho thunder tones uf the " Ohio States man, ' the principles nttU proiuBBions ol tue uemocranc party as set forth ut the eighth of January Convention of 1850. he theie presided over the deliberations uf that Convention, but iu this particular hns proved rec reant tu tlio confiding Democracy of the State, wneii he there presided, I read in the countenance of that bunk-bought traitor, his dishonest political heart, and over since havo been watch in K his dark und dumiiuble trenson, up to this time, until, to longer withhold his Bunineiul uud treacherous course would prove me rec-reat uf duty to my constituents. I hope this bill will bo postjMtned, and the House be purged Irom the foul blotch that disgrace the journals uf the Senate Mr. Loiter said that he approved of the remarks of the gentleman trom Defiance, uud was glad to meet him again upon true Democratic ground. Mr. Sprugue. Does tho gentleman approve of and subscribe to the remarks iu relation to the Editor of the Statesman? Mr. Leitor. Tho Editor of thoStntebinati is the judge of his own course, and 1 am the judge of mine. He is doubtless guided by his own motives nnd opinions, I havo an equal liberty. Mr. SprtiL'iie. DoA the ecntleinnn approve ol the si lence ol the Statesman in regard lo the passage of this bill 7 Mr. Lei ler. I do nut. The Statesman should have sounded the alarm, and given the notice broad and wuiu mrnugnoui mo omie. i mysen neeueu no nonce. My apprehensions had been aroused. I feared all along that tho guardians of the democratic principle would be silenced, and that this bill would pass the Senate and come dowu hero to be the source of discord and disturbance, if not worse, iu the democratic party in this House. If this bill were submitted to the 3,800 votes of Slack county, very few indeed would be found to vote fur it. It would gut a lighter vote thnu General Taylor, and I am sorry that tliu bill has come hero bv the nid of Dem- ! ocr&tic votes, nnd mora than all, that the dissenter from i the general uctiou ot the party, is tu be found in the person of my own democratic Senator from the demo cratic county of Stark. 1 bavo nothing to say against tho senator irom HtarK. It is he who must answer to the people for his course. I do not believe that in this act, ho represents ihe sentiments of ten democrats uf Stuik county. I do not, however, impugn Ins motives, lliey aro doubt less pure nnd honorable ns is the Senator himself. But with me it is di lie rent. Before I would vote for that or tiny other banking institution, I would have my right nun taken off. i do not charge that this, more than any other Bank has swindled the conunuuitv- They nreidl dishonest, and have been guilty of improper und swindling prac tices. 1 his is one o ihe class, and i am sorry to say. iu relation to Ihe Senator from Stark, thai ho has full ed to stand up to the warfare when the enemy came. Mr. Dalzell said, I shall vote for the bill. My constituents wish me lo go for it, and I shall do so. Wo are obliged by existing laws in the Stale tu have banks, and 1 think this bank lias us good a right us any tu live with the rest. Mr. Leitor. Is is possible that here, in the heart of the Slate, such political heresies us these are uttered and practiced ou 1 Is it possible, that the Democracy ol r rank I in county is m lavor ut this bill r 1 cannot believe it. I should like to know how the so transactions correspond with the declarations of the Convention ol the 8th of Jauunry. Mr. Leitor rend tho Hnrd money resolutions of January 8th, nnd commented ou them. If Democrats are to come to this if thev are thus, on inducements like this to obaudon tho principles of the party, they may as well dig their own graves and creep into them and die. If the Democracy uf Franklin county will sustnin such a bill, or their men will vute for it, I have no nf-; tinity for them. 1 can never sustain such a pluiform, j and call myself n Democrat. ' Buf so H is! We have, on this and other occasions been bet raved by our own friends! On another occasion, iu the case ot the Bank ul Woostor, iu spite of I ihe remonstrances of those who foresaw the evil, the bill was passed, and the result wns that tho people were shaved out of half a million of dollar. 1 hud hoped that no Democratic representative would rise in his place and tell tho representatives of 150,000 Ueiiiocrals in Ulno, thut hf would go tor urn a bill. wish if there is any other gentlemen ou the Demo-nilic sido uf this House, who intends Iu vole for this bill, he would stand up, and let it be known who he is. Mr. Givcu arose. Mr. Leitor. Then 1 am to understand thut the iren- tlemau who represents the Democratic county of H oluies, is going to lend himself tu aid in the passage 1 of this bill. 1 hoiie that iu doing w he will not claim thut ho represents the Demo-ru tic puily or its principles. I cannot believe that in so doing he represents the sentiments of the strong Democratic majority in the county of Holmes. Hud I been going to look for n man who would support this bill, I would not have thought of looking for liim nt No. 72, nt the American House, (Mr. Uiveu s room ) Ami I cannot believe that the gentleman from Frank-Uu ,-epreseiit the sentiments of the Democratic party it r ruukliu county. Mr. Halell said lie tlloiiL'hl lie did. Mr. Leiter. Then the Democracy of Franklin cotin- .vis an exception, a sort uf proviso, tu come in ut lie eud of tho Democratic party of the rest of the .Unto. A paper wns handed tu Mr. Letter. Mr. Loiter. I find here a scrap of paper which in forms mo that there is another gentleman on this floor who hns determined to vote in luvor ol the passage ol tlio bill now before the House. Sir, I regret it. I had lumen that nu more uf our party in this Houne would be found pursuing the course of tho represen tative irom rmnkiiu. Mr. Given had nut designed to utter a word upon this question, but ho felt called upon to define his m sitiou. He was a hnnl-motiey Democrat, tie had made tliu lirst anti-bank hard-money speech ever made in the noble little couuty of Holmes. Hud 1 the ow er, 1 would annihilate every banking institution in tin-State of Ohio, and sweep il from the earth as wilh the besom nf destruction. He adopted this as the only available course whi h was open to destroy the entire system ui state naiikuig m unio. no wns tor turning ns oiuienea sgaiusi linen, ouu mnke one bank blow up the rust. If this bill is to change ur incrensc tho power uf the present batikiug system, I would vote against it. I represent n Democratic, linrd-iiioiiey constituency, and I honestly believe, us firmly as 1 believe anything, that I am aiding to pull down the system; nnd I am proud at the recollection, that in this 1 havo ihe firmness to vote upon any cumviclious, whatever may the conse- nueiiccs be.

Mr. Given hoped that all honorary arrangements entered into by members would be carried out. He hoped however that there would bo no unnecessary avoid mice of tho vole. This might onco bo considered n party question. At thnt time ihe pnrty to which he belonged would have uuniiiinouMy gone against it. Such was not now the case. He did insist that men should not bo allowed to avoid tho responsibilities incurred by a voits Mr. Smith of Madison said he hoped members would be brought iu, nud made to vote. He hail read uf ail Artful Dodger, and he was afraid thut we have some nrtlul dot! gel's here in this House. Mr. Whiteley said he had no objections to recording his vote 111 tins rnse.

Ho wns prepared to vote for the resolution and to vote for it, but he believed thnt it tho vote wus taken on the resolution now it would bo so mutilated that we might ut last be ashamed of it. Mr. Payne seconded the motion. The Senator fi-om Franklin "had acted in accordance with the impulses of his feelings, being acquainted with all the parties, but lie Mr. r.l was opposed 10 neuig 100 generous n uie expense of the State. He hud mi doubt thnt physicians in other places had rendered equally yulunblo services with thoso bora, nnd hnd never receiveu any compensation. Messrs. Boeson and Payne mentioned several facts in relation to Sandusky 111' support of these views. Mr. Myers would like lu nave nn ameiKimeni ue wished to otter flu nav physicians and nurses at San dusky) go with the resulutiou uud amendment to the cumm 1 1 lee.

Tho Sergrnnt-ul-Arms wns despatched for Messrs. BreMiii nud Weyer. Mr. lliitchins said he was opposed to this skulking out, but he was satisfied that if we waited for some of Iho absentees wo should not get a vote this se-sioli. He ihoreforo moved to dispense wilh nil further put-ceediugs under the cnll ; which motion was lost ; ayes 24, noes 30. Mr Spelninn wnult-d to know if any gentleman knew how Mr. Bresliu would vote on this bill. Cries of no, no. Mr. Spelinan said lie was anxious to save time, and was willing to excuse the geulU uiau. Cries of not iiLTeed. Mr. Fiazier said that he wns opposed to tins course of leaving the House tu nvoid a vote. He would vote to stay here until Saturday night, rather thnu admit tho practice of allowing members tu run away fion 1 their dutv in this manner. Mr. Wuilo had been informed that Messrs. Bresliu nud Woyer hnd been seen within a short time ut the American Houso. Mr. Hoicomb wanted to know if it would be in order to instruct theScrgeunt-al-At niB to procure a brace , of blood hounds to run dowu and secure the members. The Speaker said it wui not iu order. ed to dhcuotr, but not to injure or vorry, he would so fur them. 6 Mr. Leiter spoke iu censure of the course of the gentlemen, ami thought great inefficiency hod been exhibited in following them. Ho understood that the Sergeiuit-Hi-AiuiB hud despatched a very efficient posse ut Me-senger Boys, and he would inquire if any report had been received from thut officer. The Speaker said thnt he hud received none. 1 he Sfitrfaiit-nt-Ai ins appeared, and reported that he hnd been unable to gain any intelligence of the absent members eiptcialiy Dr. Weyer. Mr. Leiter said that now he would go for suspend ing the call, ond would present and have recorded upon tho journals a solemu vote of censure aguiust the absent gentlemen. He moved to dispense with all further proceedings uuder the call, which motion was lost ayes 15, noes 30. Pending the cull, Mr. Weyer came in. Tho Sergeant-at-Arms was despatched for the absentee.And the House took a recess. 2 o'clock, P. M. Mr. Waite moved a call of the House 51 member present. Mr. Given asked and obtained leave of absence. The Sergeimt-at-arins was despatched for the ab He n tees. Messrs. Given, Clark, Roedter, Wilson and others came in. The proceedings under the call were disnenmd with. Tho question being on agreeing to the ameudtneut of Mr. CoJburn, Mr. Hutchins said he hnd only to say that this' amendment was offered for the purpose of destroying the bill. Those who voted for it would do it for that purpose. The amendment was lost nyes 23, noes 36. Mr. HoU-omb oifered nn atneudmeut as follows: Strike out the word citizen, and iusert or oilier persons resident of this State." The question being ou striking out, was lost ayes 23, noes 37. Mr. Fee offered an amendment: Strikeout all after the enacting clause, and insert "that any persou who shall aid iu the escape of any black or mulatto person from labor or service, &., shall be fined iu any Bum not exceeding $2,000, nud boimpriBonediiot mora than 15 nor less than 5 years." The question being ou striking out, was lost ayei 10, noes 43. Mr. Clark offered an additional section, providing hat nothing in the bill should be construed so as to conflict with ihe 2d and 3d sections of the luw of Congress respecting fugitives from justice, and persons escaping from their masters, and providing that all the penalties arising under this law shull be collected one day after tho cud of time, and not before. Mr. Hoicuinb insisted that tho amendment waa out of order, being vogue uud uncertain. The Speaker (Mr. Gilmun) suid thnt the amendment was divisible into two proposition, tho first of which was in ordn. Mr. Clark said thut ho thought the amendment in order. He did not believe that any court of justice would ever hold lliis luw constitutional, uud iutlict a penalty under it. He held that the action of the ll-.iiHo upon this bill ut this period of its session, waa ill-timed. He thought gentlemen should hesitate before they put this question iu agitation. Tho scenes at Washington this winter ought to be a warning against such attempts at this time, and in this House. Mr. Hutchins spoke against this process of killing a bill by amendments. Ho wished gentlemen would face the music, and if they want to kill the bill, com up boldly nnd do it. Mr. Smith of Madisou spoke briefly agniust the bill. The question being ujHm the first branch of the umeudmeiit, a division of the House wa had, and the me prevailed ; aye 27, noes 24. The question being upon the second branch of the umeudmeiit, Mr. Fee ottered the following amendment: " His fitiorn stuck out like Uie cane In the brake, He fasti no ryes for to c, tin hnii nu tci-tb for to eat tbe corn cake, bu ho bud to let the com cake be," Speaker. The amendment is out of order. Mr, Clark ollered to withdraw the second branch of his amendment. Objections being made, Mr. C Iceland said thnt tho gentleman, by the rules of the House, may withdraw his amendment. The Speaker Baid that iho gentleman had leave to withdrnw his nmeiidiiient. Mr. Spelinan objected. He has no right to withdraw his amendment except by consent uf the House-He appealed fium the decision of the Chair. Several gentlemen addressed the Chair at the same time. Mr. Roedter spoke in favor of the position of Mr. Spelman, nnd rend and expounded the rule, fie said it waa s phiiu thut he that runs can read. The rule is as follows : " Alter a motion is stated by thr Speaker, or read by the Clerk, it shall be deemed to be in possession of the House, but mav be withdrawn at any time before a de cision or amendment." Mr. Hubbell addressed the Chair, citing a previous decision of the House upon this question, and show ing the inconsistency of the gentleman from Hamilton county, (,iMr. rtoedterl who once iu a casern which be wns interested held the contrary. Mr. Roedter insisted that on the occasion alluded to, he had never seen ihe rule. If tie bad seen tbe rule, he should not have insisted against its letter. Mr. Hoicomb wus sorry lo disagree with the Sneaker. The resolution has a part of it been adopted. It thus iu possession of, and ihe property of the House. It is thus taken out of tho rule, which is uo longeroperative. The appeal was then withdrawn, and the second branch of the resolution, by cunscut, also wit) by 1110 mover.
