Hon on the table, but afterward with. drew it, giving notice that If the previ ous question were not seconded be would move to refer it to the Committee on Ways and Mean. The previous question wee not second• ed, and Mr. FARNSWORTH rising to debate, the resolution went over under the rule. Mr. WOOD offered resolutions declar li ing that the laws giving exclusive priv. I Harm or anloymenus to particular damn or profeadona are unequal, unjust, and In violation of the Constitution, and that a protective tariff Is of that class of legls.

It was • very extraordinary petition, he said, perhaps the largest ever presented to Congress, and , be thought it ought to be read. The reading would commit no body to the propositions op/stained in It. It seemed to him the sufferings of the Cithan topple In the cause of liberty and equal rights entitle them to the con sider eration and synqatby of Congress. He thought the struggle of that people for Independence and equal rightschalleng ed the highest esteem, and that it would be unbecoming the American Congress to refuse to listen to the petition of the people of New York asking that • toll- Lion of people, almost within the Amed• can borders, who are struggling for liberty and life, should be heard.

The resolution gave rise to consider stile discussion, beteg opposed by Messrs. Login, &tenet, acrd other member.. Mr. PAINE intimated that the oppo sition of Mr. Logan was prompted by s desire of removal of the Capital, which Intimation Mr. Logan contradicted, as. wining he had not of the re. moval of the Capital In co n nection ht with his opposition to the resolution. Mr. SCHENCK ridiculed the idea of an opinion of the - Judiciary Committee affecting the constitutionality or union. stitudonality of a law that had been on the statute book for twenty-three or twenty four years, and that bad been acknowledged by all branches of the Government.

But the Democrats would forgive them freely, If the gentlemen on the other side would forgive them, generally.
