ATTORNEY AT LAW, O FFERS his Professional Services to the Public, in the Court of Common Plea* in the City of Augusta, and iuthe several Courts of tbe Counties of tbe Middle Circuit. He may at all times be found in,the Office of Gen. Wm. W. HotT- Jw# & tf 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- pinion. But I speak of facts, n-c 'he . I [have a right to Bjieak oL And ore :_ct 44 House i ani thets-thro^r e;* os the re- is that five out of seven of the preseat
