The House having under con.ideration tlie np- |Hnl oTMr. Vasdeupoei. from the decision Of the Chair letuliing the votes to be- eohulod from Now Jersey, nnd die tini'jodtotft question pend ing being as to permitting Mr. Dosc.vx to reed certain documents—after several gentlemen had addressed the House. ns heretofore published— Mr. BLACK, of Georgia, begged leave to occupy ■ nUefAibtl oftiro Ilouie lor n short ‘ time, and, before Iro proceed,lro owed perhaps att o oology to tint Hoftro and tlm|*ntidinv.ii from Maryland for the manner in which he had for fbf first time presented himrelflo its notice, lie meant no disrespect to any otto hero; ho had only claimed tho right for his colleague (Mr. Colquitt) to be heard, when other, gentlemen, who had spoken repeatedly, wero wanderin'? from tiro incidental questiou before them, and od- drowin'? thomselv’es to tho merits of the main proposition. He again . asserted . tho position ho bid assumed in liji. cUmi. to the floor, upon tho ground that, although thelites: tion immediately before the Home might ho nr.c in its mere farm, yet that it was substantially the samo that then had boon debated for seven days before that boclv; in proof of which, he referred to the speech justdeliwrcd hv the gentleman from New York (Mr. Vnndurponl.) and tu tho reply thereto bv the gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Everett. Yboth of which had been addressed to the merits of the original question. In continuation of the debate, tho gentleman from Maryland had risen, and. although there could he no donut lint that he believed himself rightfully entitled to the floor, as speakin* to a uctr question, yet (said Mr. Black) the geutlmnan may bo mistaken—inno cently so, without doubt—but not tho less so on that account, as ho, thought he liacl conclusively shown by tefercuceho thechnracterjofthe preseut discussion. Mr. Black said that he, like his honorable colleague (Mr. Colquitt,)hogged leave to exhibit to the House the commission by virtue of which he stood here. It so happens that my credentials of election, and iny rights consequent upon that election, are not disputed. Ho far as he was in formed, no man was prepared to dispute them; but if the rule which has been attempted to he en forced here is ultimately established, lie did not knowhow soon he mi:»ht be arrested in his re- S resentative capncity, and compelled to go bank i Gcnrgin, to gather up the poll-books, to ascer tain the competency of tho presiding officers of election.and thd qualifications of every ninnwho had presented himself at tho polls and participated in the election, before be would be permitted to take his scat. ^ Tho ostensible question now before the House is, whether tho gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Dun can) shall be allowed to proceed with tho testimony in behalf of those gentlemen from New Jersey who are claiming their scats hero in opposition to tho members elect from that State, who havo in their possession the commission of the Governor. To such a proposition he must answer in the ne gative. A gravo and important question—one involving tho rights of tho States & tho People of theStates in U*a uigh& momentous privilege of the elective franchise-!* now submitted. To whom is it tubmitted? To a mere assembly ofcitizens-toinen who, although they may be ultimately entitled to their scats upon this floor, have not ns yet produc ed even \ho prima facie evidence of their election! State the case as you may, film it and twist it tis you will, “ to this complexion it must come at last.'’ Shall we (said Mr. B.) hear testimony, either on one side or Ilia other, before we are constitutionally qualified to net on it! Will you hear the merits of the case before you are in a condition to decide upon it! Who and what are We? "(uskeu Mr. B.) Admit, *ir, for the sake of . argument, that we arc tiro Representati ves of the People. To whom can that fact, at this stage of our existence, be kjiown, save to those gentlemen alone who have their credentials in their pockets* . rfiSwr >r.,. lbteued to only hv tb« same conrteJy; aud (said Mr.’Black) until Vvn can qwpttuze, mul plnco our* wives iu a condition to act definitely, all our debate will he rnero talk. In onto that we may arrive at that point, permi&fcc tjudd&:s«3yac! r to.tlie inajori y-slha numerical innjoniy—-o,* this floor. Itis said that ono of the great political parlies that now divide tho country lias that majority here; it fiat ho tho truth, tbo whole responsibility for the was;o of the time and money of the People will n’timitely fall unqn thorn. The minority here, ns elsewhere, can no nothing ? the majority—which issailmle nuAduiinistrHtiou majority—ore all nnwerful. If they refuse to act—to organize the IIou. o upon proper principles, mid to dispose of majority—relieve us front the extraordinary posi tion in which wo are-^tenninatn the scenes ofdis* order nnd confusion which have been constantly occurring hero since wo first -assembled—and placo its in sitch a stttc of constitutional existence «s will etubiu us to decide Upon this question thus prematurely thrown before ti*. If jlho friend* nf tiro Administration can thus comniund »nd direct tho actiou of tiiis Ilonsc, and they aro disposed to be governed in their course by motives of policy, I put it to them to say, whether the odds will not bo fearfully against them if they continue to stand out doggedly a- gainst the organization of the Iloune! Reflect what may bo tho opinion entertained of you if you arbitrarily exclude tlieso five New-Jersey members from thoir seats from, fear that if they are admitted you may not be r^le to elect an Admin* i-tmtion Spoakor. If on tlie other hand the Whigs arc admitted to thoir scats in order to form a Hour?* and upon subsequent investigation they arc ousted, you may then well claim the merit of having sacrificed your political prodilections and party interests for die purpose of removing ob structions which otherwise would have clogged the wheels of Government, and threatened tho existence or the Union itself. And, if tho Whig . otes from Now-Jarsoy, thus admitted, should bo made the instrument of ptucing an Opposition Speaker in the Chair, his tenure of office would rest solely o.i tlie validity of the votes that elected him, and the House, if tho Whigs from New-Jer- ssy are ultimately rejected, would vacate die Chair which had been tilled by tho instrumentali ty of spurious votes, and instantly proceod to a hew election. Stub a course would secure to you, trot only tlie enviable consciousness of hav ing done your duty to tho country, but. Will em sure your succohs in the clectioii of a Speakor upon the ottiy groiitfds' oq wb’icK anV party OuyUt to succood—ttpOni the sttefigtlV of tlie legitimate and Majority members .oftiro House of Represen tatives. ' y. Mr. Black said he had os yet only spoken on the preliminary question; and as to what might be his opinions and whnt his votes in regard to the ultimate right of these claimants os to scats f. om Now-Jersey, when flint question should coma r roperiv before him. he was prepared to do what tw and justice required. After tlie House sium'd. bi organized, ho was willing to open that case; he would be willing to hear tlie evidence on both sides, to examine tne facts as to who had the ma jority of legal votes, and then finally decide who are the rightful Representatives of the State of Now Jersey, But before we can achieve 41 a con summation so devoutly to be wished," we must form ourselves into a “ House of Representa tives.” In concision, (said Mr. B.) permit me to say, we have heard much during this wide and desul tory debate of tlie rights of the People—tlie voioc of the Peqple—tho potential voice or tho People— nnd the great democracy of tho couutry^s con tradistinguished from the regularly organized and constitutional authorities of the State Goverm- rrs. I know nothing of sitch a distinction. People of Georgia ore democratic, republi- sovereign; hut the potential roice of the sover eign People of Georgia is always henrd through the regularly constituted organs of the Govern ment which tho People themselves have constitu ted. Any other expre- .non of that voice, except when tlie People are in their origiunl convention, would be hut tho ravings of a mob, and the howl- ings of anarchy. lie hoped that tlie gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Dtiiicnn) would see that, until tlie House had or ganized itself, and placed itself in a constitutional attitude-, he could not be permitted to go into tlie merits of tho case. uniting upon Hun ter, ofW, h Sub-Treasury \Vhjg. The Soufit-Carolina geutloincn above re cited to, will ultimately vote for Hukthr, if tho 'ores party* will not go for Lewis. There nrp soiiio half doaen Jokes' men who never will vote for Lewis, ns titoy now say, or conscquenco, Mr. HtfftTKR will bo elected, perhaps, dn tho second ballot ou Monday. This will bo an Opposition triiutii h. It will give tho Whigs tho orfttmizatich of the IIouso, aud ub douUt, will prevent the pas sage of the Sub-Trcasury. at tWs or tho next ses sion in any form. “Ono consequcnco of the election of Ht’KTXR* it is thought, will be tho intmediate admission of the Jersey excluded Whig itterahers. *Thcy will detnatVd to bosworu, attd IIusTEn,il issaitl t will administer the oath to them.

J/it us, then, who are thus dele gated as State Representatives, and by virtue of State authority, proceed to onGAVizE ourielveH, In order that wo may be constitutionally qualified to hoar & decide this question. If we arc to arrive at that point of our legiidative existence at which our powers u members of tlie General Govern ment begin, we must take the only practical course, and that is* tho usual and ordinary one heretofore pursued by tlio House. Let your Clerk call tnc roll of members, beginning, if he pleases, with tho State of Maine, and going on in goographical order until tlie whole roll is com pleted, and then let th-s members thus culled take the oath of office prescribed by tlie Constitution. Until we do this, we have no power to do any act in our representative capacity. Mr. Chairman, to the “ House of Representatives^ • * alone belong* the exclusive right to udjudge nnd deterniino this question. That House is made by the law paramount of tlie laud “the judge of the elections, returns, and qualification of its own members.” Of what, then is the Housd of Re presentatives composed 7 Of members chosen every second year by the People of the several States; not only so, sir, but a majority of the members so chosen must be sworn into office be fore they can “do business” ns a body recog nized by tlio Constitution of this country. The only practical way in winch this organization can be euocted is, us I suggested before, to call the reft of members, and to swear thorn, or a majority of them, if no more presentthcniselves, into office upon tlie prima facie evidence alone of the com mission issued by tlie Statcinvliich they may sev- eraJIy represent. This is tho only way in which vye may nope to put an end to tins mo'at disgrace ful state of things. Upon this prima facie evi dence of my election—my commission under the groat seal of the Stute of Georgia—you permit mo to take my scat; and when the gentlemen from NewJerrfey,whb hold in their hands pre cisely similar evidences of their election, present themselves to be sworn, reason, justice, tho Con stitution, and the laws made iu pursuance thereof, require that you should extend to them also the game privileges you accord to me. We havo beeu here now seven days wasting the time and money of the People, nnd huvo not any provincial company we have seen—nay, we will go further, and say, that with a few--excep tions, we have never seen the principil pails'of' the piece'better played; aud’vyeItafd beeti.witiuU the^valU pf “ oid'.Druty.”.

But thisrule in the second article of the treaty of Ghent is re versed ; we ore required to go from the unknown to the known. -The second article directs the Boundary betwixt tlie two countries to begin at tiie North west Angle of Nova Hcotia, u point which never hud any existence, and which never wu* established or set apart by any survey, cither of u direct or indirect kind, its position depends Upon the previous ascertainment of two lines,and tiie poiut of coincidence between them would, when established, be the point where the Treaty directs the boundary to begin. But since neither of those two lines have yet been ascertained, and tiro point of departure of only one of them ngreod upon, it is evident that the North west Angle of Novu Beotia, which is to be nn effect or result proceeding from cuuscs, the inherent power of which wc are yet ignorant of, is at this moment a nonentity, and must remain so until the precise direction of the two lines before spoken ori* mu tually agreed upon, and established. This u suffi cient rearoa why all. attempts to bring tiie dispute to ft happy termination hitherto' have failed, the words of tho Treaty directing us to begin at tho end, instead of the beginning, and to pursue tiie enquiries from the unknown to the known. Gentlemen, 1 do uot wish to concpul from ypu who aro so mouch interested in the matter, that tiro investigations in which 1 have been of lute en gaged, have produced results which ought to in- tluencB Governments that desiro no territorial ac quisitions at tho expeusn ofjustico-and tlie refer ence due (o Treaties, as I am persuaded is the case with the two Governments now negociatiug on tiiis important subject. The defective informa tion it is hoped and believed can be supplied. 1 any this much because the rumor is being hmy about the declared intention of the Btute of'Maine to proceed in taking possession of the whole ter ritory iu dispute, without awuitjng the peaceful came forward, trembling with the infirmities of ago, and embarrassed by the flattering testimonials of respect and affection with which he was greet ed. Mr. President, said he, my voice is very feeble, and 1 must beg your indulgence if l atn unable to mako myself heard. Where am I! In Harris burg, Pennsylvania. What brought mo here? Love of country—an nrdent desire to see the powers that he prostrated, and a sincere belief thnt every honest man is bound to. contribute his exertions to produce this result. 1 am a very old man, Mr. President, and nothing but the perilous situation of my. country could have drawn me from home nt this inclement season, I was n democrat of *98, nnd have been.nlvyriys jn.tfie har ness, and we must bring tlie government-back to the simplicity ‘of‘that day,, or tho-ronufilic is-lost, ■ 11 Is- i in tTnr.in <v b pw» U-n f 11 •« ». hu t d/* It* 5: ti d H, Henry Olay."
