MiskAloi.. Hewa ape lTecll yat njoSfZS tpfx object the jffntlJir.an.cS'.nd have in bribing ther matter up now'., Mr. C. ha-3 alluded to the fame paper s It war t{ie only paper'cf. any consequence in the city, and the prefiden't y.’ts obliged to take th?t course to circulate official afts through the Union. It had always been the cuttom For the j president to publiih his proclamation?, but in no i s,iA.*nte had be bid them before the Houle— ‘ The two extraordinary feiiions of Congress had; beep held by proclamation pubjifhed in the newf •papers, and if e proclamations for convening them; had nbt been bid before the House. It hav ing been done by another Pnflfident had no bearing on the present case : no law er.illed au ♦hdriFngT’refident ‘Waflnngton to iilue such a proclamation, as that referred to ; but the proc- i Jjmafion now referred to, a? well as that in the • tile of Mr. Buit were issued under an aft of! Congress. Mr: C. had no partica.V objeftion to the call ; but he could not fee the necessity for it. With refpeft to precedents in other coun tries, he wifned th§m to have influence on the'proceedings in this, Mr. Burwell did not rife to oppose the refolu ♦.ion ; he was willing that the proclamation should be sent to them by the Preficent ; but the gen tleman had expressed his furprize that he did no* jjnd that proclamation contained in the report of the cor.mitte?. The only reafen was, that they lad fappofed it was Efficiently official in the rtewfpapers, end had referred to them when oc casion required, as they would have done to any ether authority. He held it a correft proceed ing, that it vvas the right of any member of that House to call for any information relative to any fubjeft; he should always favor such an applica tion'; he therefore did not rife to oppose the gen tleman's notion, but to apologize for the com mittee’s not having reported it. Mr. Dana said, that, the obfevations of the gentleman from Virginia had been made with hie general candor ; he had no doubt but the committee considered such reference as they had made correft:; but as no public prints were ftriSly official, and as they were called upon to deliberate on the proclamation itfclf, be thought it necessary they should have it before them.- Wefe they pot called together on this fub'eft particularly, he nrgbt not fee the fame necessity for having it ; but as it was to be the bails in tome 1 measure of their proceedings, they ought to have an official copy of it. Mr. D. also thought it was more correct whenever Congress were called together by proclamation that they should be specially notified. Ihe gentleman from Mafia chufetts was in an error so far as related to the form of giving notice of extraordinary fitting* ; 1 he had untkriloed the gentleman to fay, that Congress were called together by a proclamation i yblilhed in a newspaper, which was official no- i t.ce. 1 :•.!? was not the correft course. It. was ! t-ue they were now all gathered together ; but their j jurnzle would not shew how. When an ; ieffion had been called fa rarer! y a letfer had dried addrelied to each member from the secretary cf date, enclosing the proclamation for the purpose and this was capable of being done in eve v instance, bv transmitting these let ters to the Executive of each flatr:, who might notify them individually. This had been the course, and he thought it more correft them the other. E Ihe question on the resolution being takc.i, Hvas earned,- 70 to 32 ; and Meflrs. Quincy and ■ Burwell named a committee to wait ou the Pro- Hfideat for the purpose. 1 IN.
