If the course now taken were, parliamentary, if the " practice now attempted were permitted to succeed, . ft would be in the power of any member at any time , to embarrass theprodeedins of the House. Tin- SPE AKRR (who had resumed the chair) said, that unquestionably in the opinion of the! chair, the tr position miffht be required to be submitted in vri- tin r, because it was made the duty of the chair to require the application of observations made on the coniil not bp performed unless the chair was apprised of the terms of the proposition. r MY CALHOUN"..
