The resolutions of Mr. Chilton, as
modified by himself, being still under con
sideration, together with the proposed
amendment of Mr. Blake:
After Mr. Ingham took his seat,
Mr. VANCE rose, and said, that he
batj not intended to take any part in the
present debate ; but he must bo per
mitted. to say that, from the com
mencement of this session, and through
out its course, until now, there had
been manifested a spirit toward a cer
tain class of individuals, such as never had
been exhibited in this Nation, nor, as he
believed in any other. Certain watch
words, and he would add, also, certain
countersigns ; had taken the rounds in a
very significant manner. They had com
menced with a gentleman from Virginia
(Mr Randolph] whom ha -did not now
see in his place, at the time when the res
olution respecting the selling out
of our stock in ihe United States' Bank
was under discussion ; but he believed
there were few at that moment who
thought them to be so significant as they
had since been made. He alluded par
ticularly to remarks, so often made by cer
tain gentlemen, that they had come here
to do the public business and to go home.
Sir, who has not comp here to do the
business? For myself I oame here to do
the public and the private business which
might come before me in this House, to
gether with any other business in which
my constituents might wish me to act, and
then to go home.
In the course of the remarks which have
been made in this debate, it has been al
leged that there is a certain party in this
House, who believed a public debt to be a
public blessing. Sir, I have attended
here now for seven sessions, and I never
heard that sentiment uttered in this House
except by one gentleman, and he is now at
the head of the Committee of Ways and
Means. Sir, I recollect it well. It was
on the question of retrenchment, or of the
reduction of the army, when that gentle
man declared that thq public debt belon
ged to posterity. He was the only indi
vidual I ever heard utter such a sentiment
if others had, I have not heard them.
The gentlemen from Virginia, [Mr
Randolph] told his friends that we of the
Administration party were a well discip
lined phalanx, and that we never acted on
any important measure without a consul
tation first had without the walls of this
House. Sir, if there has been any such
consultation, I for one never heard of it,
o <r did I ever hear a single friend of the
Administration suggest- the necessity or
expediency of any such measure. No,
sir, not one. If anv such consultation has
been held the secret was kept from me.—
What, sir, to charge upon us, that we set
still and demure, and make no movements
and leave you to do all the public business?
Why, sir, what power have we in ibis
House 7 None at all. By the very or
ganization and construction of the commit
tees of this House, the Administration
party are debarred from all power on this
floor. Sir, when those committees were
formed there were personal predilections
at stake ; and I will sav that such a pro
scription was never witnessed under this
or any other Administration. No, sir.
No such proscription was ever seen in this
country. Sir, what are the facts ? When
there only exists beiween the two parties
a mere difference of opinion, when neith
er party claims to be exclusively either
the Republican or the Democratic parly
but merely because we differ in our judg
ment as to a certain man whom we think
best qualified to rule over the nation, we
have been proscribed in the manner I have
pointed out. And, sir, this proscription
is not merely personal, it is sectional.-—
In the eight committees of this House,
which may be justly termed National
Committees, and who have all the most
important business to perform. I will
state how the two parties stand. Maine
has two members on committees ; one of
these of the Administration, and one of
the Opposition ; and has no Chairman on
any one of them. New Hampshire has
two members, both in favor of the Admin
istration. It has a chairman in one of
the committees, but the majority of the
committee are in the Opposition.—
Rhode Island has no member od either of
those committees. Connecticut has none.
Vermont has a member ; who is a Chair
man, is in favor of the Administration,
but a majority of tbe committee is in the
Opposition.
[Mr KREMER here inquired of the
Chair, whether the gentleman trom Ohio
was in order in thus arraigning the appoint
ment of the committees ?
The SPEAKER replied that he was
making statements which the Chair pre
sumed be intended to bring to bear upon
the general argument.]
Mr. VANCE replied that he did so in
tend, and then proceeded with his state
ment. New Jersey has one member of
these committees, Sc he is for the Admin
istration. New York has six members on
these Committees, three for the Admin
istration, three in the Opposition, and
one chairman. Pennsylvania has six
members, four in the Opposition and two
for the Administration. Delaware has
none. Maryland has three, all for the
Administration. Virginia has two chair
men of these committees and six mem
bers, all in tbe Opposition.
Mr. M’DUFFIE here rose to order.—
He said he was aware of the delicacy
bf that situation in which tbe Speaker was
placed, and he wished to ask whether it
would be in order to appeal from the de
cision just now given in relation to the re
marks of the gentleman from Ohio. I
wish that the House should take upon itself
the responsibility of determining whether
this debate shall go en or not.
The SPEAKER said that he should
not pronounce the gentleman from Ohio
out of order. His remarks, so far in rela
tion to the political and geographical or
ganization of some of the Standing Com
mittees of the House, were of too gener
al character to justify the Chair in pro-
nounciug them out of order. Whatever
the motives of the gentleman from Ohio,
might be, it was not for the Speaker to de
cide : nor could he anticipate the particu
lar application which that gentleman in
tended to give to his argument. The
Chair, therefore, under the circumstances
of the case, decided that the gentleman
from Ohio, was not out of order, and might
proceed.
Mr. M’DUFFIE appealed from this
decision to the House, and said, he would
state the ground of his appeal. The pro
position before the House, [said Mr-
M’D] involves simply an inquiry into
the expediency of retrenchment in the
expenditure of the public money No re
marks of any member of the House, so
far as I recollect, has had reference to any
other subject but this. Tne member
from Ohio, now goes into an 'riquiry re
lative to tbe organization o f ti'i Commit
tees of this House, and »o ihe manner in
which the duties of the Chair have been
discharged. Now, I submit to the House
whether it would not be as much in order
to go into an examination of a project of a
gentleman from his own State, to get into
a hole at the North Pole. It has ne
rr.anoer of connexion wiih the subject be
fore the House, and I trust the House will
decide whether we are to be disgraced in
the public estimation by proceeding in a
discussion which now assumes a character
that cannot but degrade this body before
the nation.
The SPEAKER now stated the ques
tion upon the appeal, in the usual ioym,
viz. “ Shall the'decision of the Chair stand
as the Judgment of the House ?”
Mr. CHILTON now said, that it
might be incumbent upon hint to speak
for a moment to the question of order.—
He really begged leave of the House to
make a few remarks. He would state as
an additional reason why he supposed
ihe decision of the Chair ought to be re
versed, that the proposition now in dis
cussion, was not embraced in the resolu
tions. He considered himself as capable
to decide on this question as any other
member could be, since he h-id himself -
given origin to the resolutions. I would
not have remarks put into my mouth,
which I never contemplated. As the
character of the Administration is not in
order to discuss if.
Mr. CARTER said, that it could not
have escaped the observation of the
House, that the object of this rehearsal,
on the part of the gentleman from Ohio,
was not merely to impugn the impartially
of the Chair, but to sustain the charge of
proscreption which he had advanced, and
to show that the presiding Officer of this
House had so forgotten his duty,
as to organize the Committees with a view
to embarrass the Government.
The CHAIR here interposed, and re
ntiuded the gentleman that an appeal was
not debateable.
The question then being about to be
put—
Mr. WRIGHT, of Ohio, demanded
that it should be taken by yeas and nays,
It was so ordered by the House—ayes
40, noes 120—(one fifth being sufficient to
order the yeas and nays.)
Mr. BARTLETT now moved an ad
joumment, and the motion prevailed—
ayes 92, noes 72.
So the House adjourned.
Tuesday's Debate.
The question on the eppeal of Mr
McDUFFIE was propounded from the
Chair, when the House affirmed the deci
sion of the Speaker, yeas 91, nays 62
and Mr. VANCE again took the floor.—
On resuming his remarks—
Mr. VANCE said, in justice to myself,
to you, Mr. Speaker, and the House, I
trust I shall be permitted to say that my
motives in bringing the organization
“ sponsibility oftbeir own measures. Sir.
" this is a new sort of political justice.**
This is the language of the member
from Virginia, which it is my purpose to
meet and repel. What, Sir, we embar*
ra>sing legislation on this floor by consul*
tation! If so, we deserve the proscription
and denunciation of all honest men, of all
parties; for I have no hesitation in saying,
that, whenever tbe legislation of this
House is decided by caucusses and con*
sultations, secret or open, the days of the
Republic will be numbered ; and whenev
er I am convinced that a party is acting in
this manner, it shall cease to be my party ;
I would not only desert it, but I would de
spise myself if I did not denounce and ex
pose it. Sir, if I could have believed,
for a moment, that an expose of tbe or
ganization of the Committees would have'
produced so much sensibility, I would not
have arrayed them before this House and
nation. I will not say, Sir, if I filled tha
place that you do, and under the circum
stances that you are placed, with all the
passion and prejudice growing out of a
desperate political conflict, that I would
have done as you have thought it your du
ty to do. No, Sir ; it is not what you
have done, that I am complaing of x but
is that we of the Administration party
should be divested of political power, and
then charged with neglect of duty for not
exercising it.
One word, Sir, as it regards the mem
ber from South Carolina [Mr. McDuftieJ
of
the committees before this House, have
been totally misconceived. I am the
last man on this floor that would unneces
sarily bring this or any other matter be
fore this House, calculated to wound the
feelings of its presiding officer; and to
wards you, sir personally, no such feelings
exist. In doing what I have done, and
was continuing to do when called to order
by the member from South Carolina,
[Mr. M’Dcffie] I was doing nothing
more than stating a historical fact—the
organization of the House—which fact
was necessary to meet and repel the ar<
guroents of the member from Virginia,
[Mr. Randolph,] which could be met in
no other way, la speaking of the friends
of tbe Administration, the member from
Virginia says, “ I see one of these par
ties, perfectly willing, no doubt, with the
“ very great man to whom I have befoie
“ alluded, to throw upon us the responsi
“ bility for whatever is done here; sitting
“ perfectly still, steadfast, silent, and de
“mure, bringing forward no proposition
44 whatever; I see the other party throwing
44 proposition after proposition. The op-
44 posite party never commits itself until
44 after a night’s reflection. And what is
44 the consequence 1 Though I believe
“ minority, they so manage matters as
44 constitute an effective majority of this.
to
at the head of tbe C'.mmitte of Ways an
Means. It may be considered by some-
that 1 take exceptions to his appointment.
Not so. In bis legislative character he
has elways shown himself above party
And although he is the only man upon
earth, with whom I am acquainted, be
tween whom and myself there is an en
tire separation, yet, with ail the political
passion existing between us, I have al
ways done justice to his talents and integ
rity as a legislator, and will say here, what
have said elsewhere, that I would have
no objections to his filling the place he
now does under any Administration. No,
Sir; it is a rule of my life to do justice, re
gardless of passion or party, to my p< lit-
ical adversaries. I never heard a foul
calumny charged upon a political oppo
nent, knowing it to be such, but what I
met and repelled it with indignation, arid
tho world that knows mo, knows that this
is my practice. And, Sir, I obsme the
same course in defence of a friend. And
when I cease to have these feelings, nr td
act upon these principles, in my opinion,!
shall no longer be worthy of a seat on
this floor. Unhappily I have come in
collision, politically, with many men, bat
I have never written any thing about any
man, but what I am willing should be put
forth to the world in tlu broad face of day,
No dark and mysterious letters and essay*
have ever been produced by my pen.-w
What I have to say of men politically, J
say it here on this floor, where I am lia
ble to be met face to face. I have strong
passions to combat; they have been agy
gravated by persecution and abuse. And
I confess I war. fo cibl v struck, some day*
since, at the sensibility of the member
from Squth Carolina [Mr. McDuffie] on
a charge of insincerity, in the National
Journal, relative to the debate on the
sale of the Government Stock in the Bank
of the United States. His seosibility did
credit to hi? feelings ; of the injustice of
the charge, I do not doubt; bur, before
the deprecation of this member, relative
to tbe Government paper makirg thi^
charge against him, had ceased to so^nd ifc
my ear—indeed, I believe the ve r v next
morning—I found myself, together with
the Ohio Delegation, denoupeed as trai
tors, f ir preferring one individual to ano
ther as the Chief Magistrate of this nation.
Fes, Sir ; here was a Government pappr^
edited by an officer of this Congress, the
printer of the Senate, goading men to des
peration, and exulting and glorying in hi*
success.
[Here the CHAIR reminded the gen
tleman that it was not in order to nofiew
the debates and proceedings of the Sen
ate.]
Mr. V. said, ho had no disposition to
transgress the rules of this House ; that he
had not referred to the other branch of thff
Leg slature, but to an officer of that
branch.
Before I proceeded, ! wished to say
one word to the member from South Car*
olina, [Mr. Carte*] whose friendship it
has been my good fortune to enjoy firoiD
our first acquaintance until the present
time. In his remarks of yesterday, he
appears to have taken up the idea that my
intention was to make an attack on the
Speaker. From what I have said to day
I hope he is convinced of his misappre
hension. The sectional organization to
which I referred, was, I confess, princi
pally directed to the Judiciary Commit
tee. The People of the Western States
feel a lively interest in having the Judicial
system beneficially extended to the Wes
tern States. Tbe President recommends
it in his message to Congress. A bill
passed this House, at the first Session of
the last Congress, that would have been
satisfactory, but for some cause to me un
known. It wa3 so amended in the Sor -
ate that its friends were compelled to vote
against it. We are to this period of *r:e
Session without a report. It is pla n!'- to
be seen that our grievances are to be
continued another and another year. I
take no exceptions to tbe men that com
pose that Committee; indeed, the r-erri-
berat the bead uf it, is a crr..c'err.: -c«
and honest legislator, in nu h :~ e o-
