Mr. BRONSON (before the reading was con-
cluded) moved to suspend the further reading OF
these documents; but the House refused to sustain
the motion, and the reading OF the papers
was concluded. The reading being finished,


Mr.. BRONSON requested Mr. HOFFMAN to with
draw his motion to suspend the rules, for the pre-
sent; but Mr.. ii. declined to do so.


The question upon suspending the rules was
then taken, (requring two-thirds,) and was dec-
ded as follows:

| So the rules were not suspended and Mr..
HOFFMAN was refused the leave to make his mo-
tion.


Mr.. THOMPSON said that this was ques-
ton of privilege. He believed that these docn-
ments had been sent to the House without the
knowledge Of the Executive. The information
called for specific, and the reply to the call
was collection of Infamous and scurrilous libels
from one Of the common sewers Of party abuse.
Mr.. II. suggested to the CHAIR to apply to the
Executive to know if this document was indeed
sent to that House by his order.
| The CHAIR reminded Mr. Il. thatlis remarks
were not in order, no proposition being before the
House.


Mr.. THOMPSON then asked leave Of the
House to offer the following resolutions:
| Resolued, That the President of the United
States be requested to inform this House whether
Document No. 8, and that which follows, accom-
panying his Message Of the llth of May, were
communicated to this House by his direction.
| This being objected to,


Mr.. THoMPsoN moved to suspend the rules to
enable him to offer the resolution he had indicated
his intention to offer. Lost.


FRIDAY, May 25.


The CHAIR laid before the House the follow.
ing message from the President Of the United
i States:


To The House of Representatives


Of the United Nafes:.
herewith submit report from the Secretary
of the Treasury, explanatory Of the manner in
which extracts from certain newspapers relating
to the introduction of foreign paupers into this
country, and the steps taken to prevent it, became
connected with his communication to me on that
subject, accompanying my message of the 1th
! Sensible that those extracts are Of character
which would, if attention had been directed to
them, have prevented their transmission to the
House, Irequest permission to withdraw them.
