Mr. Du.vcav tvus not in the House at 12 o’clock
Tito members, after tvaititig for sotuo time, Milt-
milted various motions for u cull of the 1-louse,
Previous Question, Ac. which did not pre

Mr. Wise said, “it is now by tho watch of
tho uenltmnun who nita by mo some minutes after
twelve, mid ns it is an Administration one, of
course it is correct.”
Mr. Duncan not appearing in his place, and
t’te members becoming tired of waiting, the l>re-
viatu Question wits seconded, uyes 110, noet
72.
Air. Vavderpoet. said that thorn was some
doubt in hie section ot the Houso ns to which tvaa
tho affirmative and which the negative of the
Mr. Bkioos. aititl that- the question imntcdi-
utoly before tho House woo whether the main
question bo now put. This question tvus sus

Mr. Atust slated thnt tho nextquntion heftNe
U;e Assembly was whethor the division of the
Chair shall aland as tho jadgmout of the
House. . • . : ‘ .
Tho question \v»» put by tolWr* and lost by Uto
followinf vote, aye* 108, iioe* 114.
Thiawaa an important vote, and croatcd no
little sensation in the House. In the midat of the
general confusion Mr. Aoams aaid Irora tha
chair.«that the State of Keie Jertaw team* k de
prived of her representation in this House, «nd shell
net be to tongas I hart a seat us Chairmen of the
meeting." The question to bo docided was which
set of members was allowed to vote—tho mem
bers must now decide that.
Mr. Thomas made some remaks which could
not be heard,
Mr. Wux demanded the regular order of pro-
reedins* threat COnfUilOR.}
Mr. Untoos, of Moss, endeavored to get the
floor, with many other members. A do*en were
upon the floor at the same moment, atm it was
found impossible to make a report of proceedings
for the condition.—Mr. Briggs contended flint
the last vote placed tho members from New Jer
sey where they were before Mr. Adams made his
decision.
Mr. Smith, of Maine, said that the vote of the
House deprived the members commissioned from
voting. Some debate followed as to which of
these decisions was correct. At leugth partial
order was restored, and
Mr. McKay, ofN. C. got the floor and submit
ted a proposition that neither set of members from
New Jersey bo allowed to voters neither those
cl timing the seats nor those commissioned. There
were no examples iu parliament, or elsewhere
where members whose seats were contested
were allowed to vote.
Mr. Briggs demanded that tbe proposition of
Mr. McKay be put in writing. '
tho State of New Jersey was uow repreicntci] by
•ix member*. Mr. McKay’s proposition, he con
tended, wa. out of ordar, and in die vary teeth
of the Conititutiou of the Uuilcd Elates, and un
less members were ready to blot out the Consti
tution, they could not sustain it. Air. Johnson,
therefore, ae an amendment to Air. AIc’Kny’e pro.
posiuou, submitted an amendment, that the Chair
receivo no question whilst Mr. Wiso’s was before
tho House. [Tho proposition before the House
on Saturday, Out tha regularly cominiasioned
members bo allowed lo take part in (lie organiza
tion of lltc House.)
Mr. Adahs aaid, there svai no other question
before tllo House, and the House went uotv but
settling preliminary questions.
Air. Ktir.rr.of 3. C. called the Previous Ques
tion. It wa* iu order, and Air. Johnson introdu
ced two reiolutions that the commissioned mem
bers should be enrolled and ilia Constitution pro
tected iu tlioir enrollment. Air. Johnson proceed
ed to comment upou Air. McKay’s resolution.
.Mr. Adaiss, being alluded to aaid that tills re
solution of Air. AfcKav was in eftect, that the
people ofNew Jersey should not he represented.
Tit's meeting had no right to voto upon such a
resolution—^'-os chairman of this meeting J refuse
to put it!” The decision of Mr. Adams created
quite a sensation in the House.
Air. Juustas defended Mr. Adams' decision
and his own resolution. He argued that one
conoree and no other could be pursued. The
members front New Jersey who had tbs certi
ficates must vole, or the Constitution must be
abandoned. Ono of the two things U neccs-
Mr. Tnottn, of Aid. said ho was anxious to
bring the House to a decision, lfthe majority of
theHotiso believed that tha oloituanta were not
entitled to their reals, they abonkl be heard. At
least he though so. Nothing was to be gained by
continuing the discussion. Melt’s miuds were
mode up, and at lost wo most come up to the de
cision.
Mr. AVts* answered Air. Thornes, and asked
why ho did not point ont some method to get the
Housa ouLof dilficulty. If tlte gentleman fiom
8ouih Carolina, Air. Hhett, would withdraw his
motion (lo Isy Air. Wire’s resolution upon the
table)—If the gtntleman from North Carolina
would withdraw his (that neither sot of meinbeta
should vote)—If the gentleman Horn Maryland
would withdraw his (that the Constitution should
be protected)—If Ihe'Houre would then come iu
a voto upon Mr. Adams’ and Mr Graves' re
solution (that the New Jersey members elect be
enrolled)-—then the House would be enabled to
gel out oftrouble.
The discussion was continued by Mr. McKav,
Mr. Cuaio and othors, when
Mr. Mosnoe, (in the midst of the general con
fusion) retd that tie wished to make one remark.
He was unable to be in hie placo due morning
from indisposition. (Cries of “ order, order,”
in different parte of the Hall.) Mr. M. contin
ued amidst geueral cries of order. IIo wished to
be heard, and as indtspinition might keep him
IVom the Hell when a more important voto was
taken, be would state that he would not go ono
step behind the Governor’s returns—behind the
great seal in the preliminary organization.
Mr. Bust said that tbe House must go baek
before it conld go forward. Wo were iu difficul
ty and must get outofit. The House, he tho’t,
were further from organization than ever before.
Air. Slade thought that tho House might easily
gat out of its present difficulty by getting a Com
mittee who should, in company wtdi the Clerk,
make out a roll of members.
Mr. Graham of N. C., called Mr. Slade to or
der. Mr. S. was making a long speech,
Mr. Adams again canto in on peace-maker, nnd
suggested, ns n means or escaping from present
dimcuJty, his old proposition in the cose of the
.Michigan electors.
Mr. Tuomas defended the same proposition.
Mr. Sladk continued his remarks, when beiug
interrupted upon a point of order,
Mr. Adams said he was unwilling to arrest any
member while speaking upon a point oforder.-->
(Great confusion in the House, end at times sev*
eraWnembers were upon the floor, the one calling
t!.e oilier to order, t ^
-Hcve a', of the Administration members flavor*
«d Mr. Adams’ plun of getting tho House out of
djflicn t/.
The J'revions Question was then pat and sec
onded, and the Maiu Question followed. The
Main Question was, “ shall Mr. Wise's resolution
be laid upon the table.” [Mr. Wise’s resolution
required the enrollment of the New-Jeney com
missioned members.]
Tellers were demanded upon the motion to lay
upon tlte table:
Arcs 115, Noes 114.
The Chairman voted in the negative and deci
ded that the motion was not carried.
Mr. Smith of Maine, asked if Mr. Naylor had
voted.
Mft Naylor said that he hid. “I demand”
said he, “ of any member here a right to challenge
my rote. I challenge the.right of tho geutlcman
from Afuinc to deny my right.”
Air. SviTii itaid, I sliall not answer tlte member
from Pennsylvania, but turn him over to Mr. In-
jersoll of Pa., who has as good a fight to voto as
ho has.
“ I challenge tho right of tho meinbor from
.tlume then,’ said one' of Ibu members.
” And I,” responded several voices. [Great
confusion all dm time,) Mr. Smith said some
thing winch excited a faugh.
Mr. Naylor said he Itad tlte Governor's eertifi-
cato of election and the people’s, and no man hod
a right to question bis right to vole. Additional
confusion followed, nnd the House lonniniited it
with a motion to udjourn Ayes 110, noes 113.—
The New Jersey members voting—three oftke
claimants, and three oftlte certified membera.
- [Tlte scone in tho House to day lias been ono

to tlte present moment. At times several mem
ber* were on tlte floor, and to report the proceed

Th« question bethre tho House, after the read
ing of the Journal, waa the light of Mr. Naylor
to voto open Air. Nhett'i motion to lay Mr. Wuo'e
resolution upon the table,
The confused proceedings of yesterday led to a
correction of the iimrir-d. The Clerk omitted lo

challenged tho right ofAlr. N. The journal waa
amettded, when tho Previous Question woe put

Air. Naylortmda right lo vote.
The previous question was put and seconded,
and tellora were demanded upon tho vole, whe
ther the decision ofthe Chair should stand as the
judgment of thollouso. Tho voto waa aa follows.
Ayes 112,—Noes 118.
Uo Mr. Adams' decision was lost. Air. Itiger-
•oil, Air. Naylor nnd a part of the New Jersey
members—commissioned members and claimants
—voted.
Air. Jottsso.v said that it was an outrage upon
the Constitution not to count the voto ofthe
member from Pennsylvania.
Mr. Antut said to tbe Houso thus early, tho
business becoming confused, that if oach member
would keep liiit seat tlicre would be hopes nfkoep
tug order.
Air. Wise moved that the House proceed to
decido upon tbe right of Air. Naylor of Pemisylra
nia to.veto.
Air. Turxev rose to address the House, and
several members with Imn. Air. T. commenced
by ccn string Air. Adamt’ decision. Cries were
heanlof“goon,” “go on,"“goon,"“order,”
“order, ""order."
Air. Totmct proceeded, and said to Air. A-
dams,—while the House waa in more confusion
titan it haibeen boforo—“You have no aortofro-
gadfur order amt law. Solong as you stand in
die chair no law or ordar call bo preserved. Yon
may halloo order as loud os you please, bull will
goon and be heard.” Thecriee of “order,”" go
on,”“go ahead,”“stop,”“proceed,”&c. Ae.
were beard.
Mr IsnxosoLL mode an attemptto apeak,hut
was called to order. He addressed tho Chair once
or ttrico, but was not suffered to procood
Mr. Curtis here moved an adjournment,
which was not put bv Mr. Adams.
Air. Turroet, ofTenn. made die remark that
tho sooner we get into a row the better.
Air. SvtitLxrofN. C. interrupted him by say
ing if it boa come lo this that the House was to be
m ade belter by getting into a row, "he could tell
tiro geptleinanfrotn Tennessee, that if there was
ta be a row, he was Aia hum,”—eyeing Mr. Tur.
The Mena of confusion wa* here ao great that
Air. Curtis moved on adjournment of tho House.
Air. Tur-viv of Tenn. made some remarks,
which excited the House, in consequence of tlte
censure upon Air. Adams.
Air. 8taoi.iv again nude some remarks, to
Air. Turney, greatly excited. One hundred mem
ber* at laast at this lima were enring “order,” and
“go on,” both Air.-Tuniey and Mr. Stanley apeak'
ing at the nine moment.
After much disorder, tho Previous Question
waa put end seconded, upon Mr. Adams' decis
ion that Air. Naylor had a right to vote.
Air. VzstoiRroaL, greatly excited, rote to*
point or order, lie wished to know whether tho
Chair was determined to reverse a decisiou of the
House.
Air. AIcKat rose to a point of order and Air.
Graxosr read the 45th rule ofthe House, show
ing that tho Previous Question waa not debate-
able.
Air. Adams again requested, aa a means ofpre-
serving order, which was to loudly demanded,
that members should keep their seat*.
The question again como upon Mr.Naylor’a right
to vote. Mr. Naylor had his certificate of elec
tion-read. While this document anus reading the
Aaseinbiy for lire first time were quiet.
Mr. Nailur asked the attention ofthe Houso
to the Proclamation, which ha read, from Govern
or Porter. Nine day* before tiro Assembly met,
Governor P. issued a eenilic.no or election, an-
nounciug tiro return of Air. Ingersoll.
Mr. Smith, of Ataine, said “I did understand
tha gentleman from Pennsylvania lo any dial lie
hod the proclamation of the Governor of Pennsyl
vania announcing (tie election.” Cries of “order.”
Air. Naylor roso and begged a hearing, hut
was not suffered to proceed—tlte Homo being
divided, and tho eonfiraion very great. The read
ing of tho law or Pennsylvania waa called for.
Air. Rives called for the reading afall the tes
timony—The election law or Pcnotylvaniawaa
then read, wheu the vote wa* put to tho Houso
upon Mr. Nsylor’srigbt to vote, by tellers, and
stood,
Avea 110, Noes 112.
: {This vote excited great sensation in the House
U be ng tho first vote where the Whigs had the
majority. The, efi*ect of this vole was to sustain
i 0 TSf °(y®riorday, that Mr. Wise's resolution
should bo laid upou tho table.]
• T^ ie question that Como up was upon the
right of Dr. Aycri gg, ofNew Jersey, to vote. His
commission was read, and the low ofNew Jersey
and the evidence in part connectod with tho facts
iu tiie ca*e, when the vote was token upon Air.
Aycrigg's right to a seat. Tellers were demand-
ed, and the result was—in favor 117, against him
1*J2. Four of the Whig membent from Now Jer
sey voting iu his favour and three ofthe Adminis
tration claimants against him.—So the House de
cided that Air. Ajrcrigg's voto ohould not be
counted.
The House wm very quiet when Mr. Adams
gave the decision, and all eyes were upon him
when he said, “the Chair considers the vote un
constitutional”—(laughter and excitement)—but
iu consideration ofthe fucttliat tho majority liave
reverted bin decision, he feels bound to state that
Air. Aycrigg’s vote cannot be counted.”
u Th« meeting then decided 128 to 110, that
Mr. Maxwell's vote shotiJd not be counted, nnd a
decision immediately followed of a similar result
in regard to other membera. The lost vote was
110 to 117 against allowing tho New-Jcwoy Whig
members to vote.
The next question on which a voto was taken
was whether Air. Ingeraoll ahould bo allowed to
vote.
Air. Ixokrsolt. attempted to apeak, but was
called to order.
Mr. Peck ofN. Y., told him ifhe had a speech
to make, lie had better go to die Rotunda and
make it; ho did not belong here.
Tho vote was then taken ujon Air. Ingersoll’a
right to a vote, nnd decided aguirut Mr. Ingcraolj’s
right—158 rnemberi voting agitinut it, and not one
for it. Afler this vote had been taken Mr. Adams
in the chair stated the position ofthe questions bo*
fore the Home. They had decided upon Air.
Naylor’s right to vote. Ilta own decision, that
Air. Naylor hnd a right to vote, won sustained.
Mr. Wise then again brought forward tiiiire«o-
lotion that tho Now-Jersey membora slio uld bo
enrolled and take part in the organization.
Mr. PicKExs opposed, and said that be wished
to move ap amendment.
Tiie Previous Question was then moved and
carried, aves 1 l*.i, noes 113.
The Chair voted in the affirmative, and the
PreviousQuestion was seconded.
The meeting then decided that tho Alain Ques
tion should bo put—118 to 99.
Tl o question followed upon Air. Wise’s re-
Jolntion.
Toilers were demanded by one part ofthe
Houso—ayes und nays by another part—and a
call ofthe Housn by a third part.
Mr. Adams said that the ayes and noes could
be put by general coment. “Agreed,” “agreed,”
was the genenl response.
The ayes nnd noes were then called—a breath
less silence almost pervading tho Hull during the
time of reading the names ofthe members. The
vote was
In favour our Mr. Who’s resolution 115
’flu New Jtrw members did tm\ vot* .except
Air. Randolph, whoso oeath uncontcated. Air.
Naylor voted,
Mr. Rhktt of 8. C. then moved an important
resolutions the clTWct of which woo that tho Clerk

shall decide the contested elections liofnre pro
ceeding to the election ofo Speaker. Th« yeas
and nays were demanded upon Mr. Rhctt’t reso
lution, which was decided ntlinnntivnly.
Tha vote upon Mr. Rhetl’s resolution,—the
last clause ofitrcforriugto Air. Naylor’s right to
vote,—was

Mr. Cammkm* of Ten. has submitted nn im

BTATF* OF OHIO.
Tbe Legislature of this State is in sessions and
the Message of tiie Governor (Wilso* Ska*-
kok) is published at large iu the Cincinnati pa
pers. The Editor of tiie Cincinnati .Gazette gives
the following account of it:
“ It is the longest document of tiie kind we re
member to have seen from our Gorlrnors. Tbe
subject of our banks and currency occupies a
large portion of the message. The viows taken,
and measures recommended, will not be found
palatable to many of our Locofoco friends, as is
evidenced by the following from the Phenix:
“We regret exceedingly that the part of it rela
ting to banks and currency is not by ouy means
what wo expected IVom a democratic Governor.”
