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 vail 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 tained Ity the following vote—ayes I It) tmes 48.

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 of great confusion from tha opening of tbe session to tlte present moment. At times several mem ber* were on tlte floor, and to report the proceed ings as they occurred would bo impossible. Tltoro has lent l.o .vevoi, but littla party feeling manifest in the discussion, and tut worse consequences can arise from it thau a scene ofdisorder, perhaps un surpassed iu Uto Houso.

The journal waa amettded, when tho Previous Question woe put upon tho appeal IVom Mr. Adams' decision, tuot 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 should call the names of nil the membora whoso soots are uncontcated, and that tho members thus called shall be a quorum to settle the claims of member*—that Air. Nayloreoeat shall not ho in cluded in tha contested sonts, and that tho quorum 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 Ayes, 138, Nays 92. Mr. Cammkm* of Ten. has submitted nn im portant proposition, that tho House immediately ergmi^c by the appoiuUuutu of a temporary Speaker and Clerk, tor the purpose of receiving tiie Message, &c. Aftor tho 8penkor is appoint ed nnd the Houso temporarily organised lur the purposes named, the contested seats are to bo settled, and then new officers appointed.—Air.
