 They have admitted as Representatives from the State of New Jersey five persons whom the authorities of New Jersey legal ly authorised to act upon the subject have officially declared not to have been elected to sit as Representatives from New Jersey.

 4 majority of the House of Represents lives have not thus only nullifed the laws of the State of New Jersey, and given seats as Members to persons having no ascer- tained title to them,rbat they have done so under the following revolting circum- stances:

 First, They refused to hear what the op- posing claimants have 10 say

 Secondly. They refused to hear the testi- mony in the possession Of the Committee of Elections

 Thirdly, They refused to receive and hear read the report of the minority of the Com mittee of Elections.

 Fourthly, They passed the resolution thus violating the Constitution, usage and their own pli4hted faith; under and by the power oi the PreriOus Question, which cuts off all debate
