HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.


After the journal was read, several additional
members were sworn in.


Mr.. BARNARD moved the amendment Of the
journal, SO as to incorporate the paper presented
by him yesterday in reference to the elections BY
general ticket. Mr.. B. was surprised not 10 find
it there. A motion had been submitted in this
important case, acted upon by the House, and
yet no notice Of il was found on the journal
This was not, he believed, according 10 the pre-
cedent in the New Jersey case. The minority
had conducted with great forbearance in this
matter, having declined to interrupt the oroani-
zation, but they now demanded that their views
should form part Of the Journal.


Mr.. DROMGOOLE considered the motion as
extraordinary, and not in order if allowed, the
opinions Of any gentleman might become part
Of the journal.


Mr.. HARRISON, of Georgia, Zone Of the GEN.
eral ticket members, also objected to seeing this
paper upon the journa he came here, he said,
under the broad seal Of his State, &c.


MIR. NORRIS, Of New Hampshire, (another
of the spurious MEMBERS said he came here un-
der the broad banner of the Constitution He
neither asked Congress to divide New Hamp-
shire into districts, nor direct her to do it.


Mr.. KENNEDY, Of Indiana, had said when
this law was passed, he hoped to live 10 spufn
and trample 1t under foot, &c


NlI. MA j INEN OUScTVcu tQdL Rcluemc0 were
departing from the question before the House :
a momentous one it was-the boldest act of null
LITIGATION the country has ever witnessed. Gen
tlemen have sworn, said Mr.. r., upon the Holy
Evangelists TO support the Constitution, and that
instrument requires this House to keep journal
Of its proceedings; the motion was to incorpo-
rate the business of this House upon the journal.


Mr.. COBB, Of Georgia, said there was no dis
position to evade discussion Of this subject,
they were ready to meet it; but he objected TO
making this paper part of the journal.


The debate was here interrupted by the en-
trance of the private Secretary of the President
with the Message, which the Clerk read 10 the
House. occupying about an hour therein.


MIR. WISE then moved the printing Of fifteen
thousand extra copies of the message and ac-
companying documents.


Mr.. CAVE JOHNSON moved ten thousand,
and testified some anxiety as to whom the bene-
fit of the job would fall.


An amendment was moved that the printing
should be done by the printers to the House
when the same were appointed.


Mr.. BELSER, Of Alabama, took up The ques-
ton, and began to talk about The vast importance
OF this Message, in connexion with the cotton-
growing interest," the Texas question, &c.


Mr. BARNARD called the gentleman to order
After some little debate upon the particular
number which should be printed, il was finally
resolved that 10000 copies should be printed
with the accompanying documents appended
and the usual number without thcse--thc job Il
be executed by the printer to be elected
| The House then adjourned. fet,
