The committee retired, and af ter a short absence returned, and tlirough their Chairman reported the following. pream ble and resolutions : Whereas. on the morning of the 6th inst. the House of Representatives, of the United States was the scene of a most disgraceful row, in consequence of a violent attack trade by Keitt, of South Carolina, on - the ion.
