Mr.. WELLER offered a resolution, returning
the thanks of tho House to the Speaker, for the
able, dignihed, and impartial manner in which
he had discharged the duties of Speaker for the
27lh Congress.


NJ. C. BRowS, OF Pa, rose, and unb!ush;ssy
proceeded at some length, to oppose the resoln-
lion bringing forward catalogue of charges
against the Speaker for apPrecia,ing his worth,
in not assigning him sufficiently elevated place
upon the committees, &C.


Mr.. CoorER of Pa. made spirited and Pungeu,
reply, exposing The character of his colleague,
(Nlr. Brown,) whose refusal to vote for the

honor of the Speaker, but directly the contrary.


Messrs. C. j. INGERsoLL WELLER, CUSHING
and PlcKENs advocated the resolution.


Mr.. WISE asked TO be excused from voting, and
pronsunced it sander which had gone forth to
