Mr; Biddle said that if the,suggestion of Mr. Rives, of Vn., were carried out, mon strous abuses would spring up under it.

The Senate theii adjourned. HOUSE of representatives. At noon this day the members elect of flic House of Representatives were again called to order by Mr. Garland, Clerk of the House lor the last Congress. After which he (the. iP.sS&V'SlsASiiiAhat when the house had ad- yesterday, several questions were before it which still remained undecided, and a gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Bynum) was. by usage, entitled, to the floor this morning. With the permission of that gentleman, the Clerk said he had .now a re spectful appeal to presentto;tlie House..-In□ man had- felt, or could feel, more profound ly than himself, the painful difficulty of his present* situation. From the beginning he had been deeply sensible of the high respon sibility cast upon him by circumstances, and under which he was compelled to act: and now, before God and his country, he-assur ed those whom he was addressing, that he had but one object in view, which \va?, to do his duty in the case. He was placed, as every gentleman-must perceive, in an en tirely novel situation. All former claims to scats had been presented, on petition, to the House itself;, the Clerk had nothing" (d do with them. Po this tin? only* exception had been the case of Messrs. Moore and lietch er, where the House, from the necessity of the case, had been called upon to act pre viously to its regular organization; and ip that instance the embarrassment was so great that the case could not have been decided in a fortnight, probably, had not both the claim ants, by mutual consent,, agreed to retire. But here, in the present case, the evidences in favor of the conflicting claims had been brought to the Clerk-presented in his office, and forccd upon- hirn. What was he- to do? Was he to take the part of the House, of Representatives, who were made by the Constitution the sole judges of the elcctioqs, returns; and qualifications of their own mem bers? He felt most painfully the difficulty of his position. He had most laboriously and anxiously investigated the-subject, and had come to a conclusion as to* the time and the mode of presenting the subject itself, and alLthc difficult questions connected’with it, to the House; and he now very respectfully but earnestly appealed to the House, and asked that, in his own justification, he might be permitted to make a. : statement of the grounds-on which heJiad acted thus far.— . Such a* thing was not unprecedented, and he hoped permission would be accorded him*. Mr. Jenifer asked the Clerk if he persist ed in pursuing the course he adopted yes terday. ; The Clerk replied, that heihad pursued a course which he -considered..'right. lie did not say either that he should or should- not change his course ofpollcy, hut strongly in timated that heshould cliflort'nliy from .what he had dune,, unless the house changed-his opinion. Mr.AVise hoped thc-Clcrh would be per mitted tq read the statement, he hadpfepar ed. - Mr. Atherton, of N. ,H. asked that the. Clerk might be permitted to read his state ment, , Mr. White, of Ky. said, for one," he en tered his solemn protest against. thirreadilVg •. of this statement. The, proposition now be fore, the'House would be lost in a discussion upon a new subject, and the discussion ir regularly commenced would be made still more irregular. If we cannot pursge a course prescribed : by law. we, the members of this Congress, had better go .home and leave our pjaces here to the leave the go vernment in the hands of thb Clerk who has taken it, " ” " ... - d/r. \Vise said he would fry to remove the objection of his frjend from -Kentucky. • By the ordinance of If S 3, the Clerk is auf “■ thoribed.to remain in office undl a new Clerk be appointed. . ... : j •■ . y' . • . y : : jl/r. -W, here'called‘for the reading'of the form of the oath taken by the'Clerk: it could not immediately be produced, but the rule of order was; rend, requiring the bath to be taken, and prescribing the duties of Clerk. i- Also, the provisions on the same subject ip the ordinance of 1785. r Mr. Wisepursucdhisfemarigs, nnimad- ' I verting upon the cbbduct of the Clerk, I r’Mr. Briggs hoped that the.
