days past, in discussing points Of order connected
with the proceedings Of The Committee on Elections

cision of the Chair, declaring that Mr. Fillmore of
New York, had not the right TO read a resolution
adopted in the Committee Of Elections, but not re-
ported TO the House. The decision OF the Chair,
was sustained |.u

been called TO order, and could not proceed with
out the leave OF the House.

no rule Of the House-and insisted on his right TO
proceed, he being entitled to the floor.


Mr.. BELL sustained Mr.. FILLMORE in a spirited
and able speech.

would not submit 10 receive permission from the
House TO speak, when being entitled 70 the floor, he
