HOUSE OF REPRESENTS
Mr. Howard, From the Committee on
the State of the Republic, -a re

od motion of Mr. Gartrell, 5000 copies
were ordered to be printed.by the State
Printer. On the motion to print there
were 113 yeas, nays 7.
Mr. Jones, of Paulding, laid upon
the table a resolution in reference to tbe
action of Mississipi in calling a South

Bills ofthe Senate passed the House.
A bill to repeal an act further to reg
ulate the granting of retail licenses, and
them, because the events of the past,
ofthe present, and the prospect of the
future, force the conviction on my mind
that the . interests of my section of the
Union arc in danger; and I am there
fore unwilling to surrender the great
power ofthe Speaker’s chair without
obtaining security for the future. We
have just listened to strong appeals up
on the necessity of organizing the House.
I confess I do not feel the necessity. From
the best lights before me, I cannot see
that my constituents havo/.anything to
hope from your legislation, but every
thing to fear. We are not impatient to
have the doors of the treasury ..thrown
operand forty millions of the common
taxes ofthe whole nation thrown into the
lapofonehalfoiiu^Weask for noncot it;
we expect none of it; therefore gentle
men must pardon iny want of sympa
thy for their impatience. By giving you
the control of the treasury, wo increase
your ability to oppress: I want griev
ances redressed, and security against
their further perpetration, before I ajn
willing to give you power over the sup
plies. Sir, I do r.ot regret this state of
things in the House., It is time we
understood one another; that we
should speak put, and carry our princi
ples in our foreheads.'
It seems, from the remarks of the
gentleman from New York, that we are
lo bCinlimidated by eulogies upon the
Union, and denunciations of those who
are not ready to sacrifice national hnn
