Mr. Johnson, of Ky. objected to
giving the petition the direction moved
ov the gentleman who presented it.
lie obstrved, that if the authors of
the petition had in advocate, or advo
cates on he fl mr, he was perfectly
willing tint the" Report formerly made
by tiie P.ist Olfice Committee on the
general subject, ahoultl at aay titnc ,b
called ip. Let the House hear what
gentlemen had to say on a subject,
rthich he had alanys thought, and
would now aay, ought never to have
bct-n brought tut the Hall of Congress-.
He wasaicirous-to-hear what
'could be said In favor of Congress in
.isxXciijng. wuhrcligious cao&idefatiuns.
The Committee had acted on the sub-
unless compelled to do so bv an ex
press trder of the House. He hoped
ihe gentleman from Pennsylvania,
(Mr. C 'Ulter,) would acquiesce in the
motion which he would now make,
that the petiu6n-iye4sni'ptt,bet
ble i or rather, that it be referred to
a C omroittee b( the Whole on the
State ol the Union t and he made that
motion.
Mr. Coulter said that he felt very
indifferent what clirection should be
given to the petition He had always
considered it proper, when the House
was addressed in a decorous mtnner,
m any subject proper fur legislation,
o give the petition a respectful con
sideration. In the present case, as
the 'course indicated by the Chairman
of the Post Office Committee was likei
ly to effect the -very object which the
petitioners had in view, viz. to have
the subject discussed, and obtain sorrie
act'un o( Congress in relation to it, he
was eotirely witlioglt ihoufd be d p

which it would doubtless avail him
self of the privilege ol Uebai'n g the
question without being speiially invi
ted to to do by any one. Mr. C. said
it was not hit. purpose to avow him
self at their champion, at he did not
let! himself pledged to any particular
course in the matter, he should en
deavor 00 this, as on other occasions,
to do what he coosidcrcd'his duty to
his constituents demanded. If that
duty led Him to advocate- the cause of
these petitioners, he should b: readv;
in so doing to rnect eveu the gentle,
nan from Kentucky.
