Mr Lincoln inquireU whether the memo rial Ian! on the Speakei's rililn was lh same a that referred to in Mr Whitney's letter to the committee. The Speaker said he lud glanced his eye cursorily over it, and be was not preparer! to say whether il was precisely the dime, but. from us tenor, it appeared to be so Mr LiuYolr. naid that, if it should he the pleasure of tho H mi.io that the memorial should be now pieseuled, he would give way - - Mr Williams, of NwtTPCdndina, objec ted to the presentation of the memorial al this time, 011 the groiiml that it bad refer ence to a collaior.il matter not now before tin House. v Some desultory conversation ensued, and the memorial finally ih not Hesciiteil.

Whiiuev, il.ail he may be brought lo Ihe bar of the House. lo answer lor the contempt aforesaid. Mr. Lmevlii said he had offered these resolutions on his own responsibility. Al though the resolution which wis append ed ti) the report of the committee had been adopted unanimously, with the exception ol the chairman, (Mr. Wise,) who, from motives of delicacy, had not Voted upon jt, yet they had not lliouulil il proper for litem to indicate any course of, action for iSe House to pursue. Uul, as the report itself presupposed ilie jn hT'liad.lHou as an individual "iSBlilKt, of ..Uie.,commiileje and of the House to prepare these resolutions. It was his intention to allude lo Mr, Whitney .onlyaa a-contumaeioue 'wiiiiess. In relation to other charges which had been brought -against Mr. W. elsewhere, whether he was corrupt or whether he was oppressed, he ( MrrL.) had not r word " lo say. It seemed to him that, in the present stage of the business) the House had noth ing to do with the memorial, at least until il was properly before the House. ,..Th only question; now waa, whether he had been guilty of a contempt in refusing lo appear before the cominittee, and the question waa towards Mr. Whitney was precisely the same as it would be towards any other Individual. I he first enquiry which presented iledtf was, had the Wm- mrtteetheauthorhytoisbuethis Mr; L. proceeded to argtie that the power oi the committee, as the representative IhA IlAUMsMll4sMM f thorized the aaU cotumiiies to call for pcr - aw wvvai .-.- - anna and papers, waa un leniable ; that Mr. Whitney had been guilt of a legal, technical, constructive contempt, for which he was responsible ; ami that if he waa not made responsible, it would be uselesa to attempt lo inveiigaie any subject by the intervention of witnesses. Mr. Hriggs suggested to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Lincoln; that the iwo first resolutions would belong more lo a linger slae of he biisine. ; and re lerred lo the canes of Anderson and Hous ton, on the journal, when the proceeding simply was lo call the individual to ihe btii of the Ilitose tngivethent an opportu nity lo be heurd on the question of en. tern of. Mr. Line.iln said lie did not offer t'tcst; resolution WTihonr due reflection. , The geiilleinaii would limUli il there w in a re son given in the resolution lor hriuing trie riKiivitlual u llie Imr ol ihls House. riiis was only a different mode offetfeciiiur . ' . ' . ine same ohject ; more formal, more full, and, a Mr. L. beloved, -more satisifaclori. ly. Tlie two lira residutious were mere introductions to the third. j Mr. II riggs said the Houe was called on to say that this individual h id been guilty of a contempt. Tlal was a qoextioii in winch die individual was deer.lv inter here, and not to nronouuee on Ion nuio. "err. u noi io pronounce on lie half had an oppor tunity ol being beard. Mr. Lincoln could not underatind what jnatification there could be for bringing Mr. Whitney to the h.ir, unless a' me of fence had been stated. He instanced the ease of Mr. Adams, under considalion du ring the present week, where Hie offence va distinctly alleged. The two first rea olotion us-uined ihe fact of llie offence as the basis of the third ; but it did not follow that the individual must he condemned. The II ne must allege some cause as the foundation for its intervention. Mr Brings alluded to llie cause of An derson, where the letter 111 which the of fence was alleged, and which was its evi dence, had been made the baais of a reso lution directing the speaker lo issue his warrant for the arrest of the parly. In the present ctse the authority on which the resolution di reeling the speaker to issue fits warrant lor the arrest of the party. In the present case llie authority on which the resolution directing the Speaker to issue his warrant would be founded, was the re port of the select committee setting forth the fact of the refusal of Mr, Whitney to attend. The next step was to bring hi in to the bar of the house, and not lo pro nounce a verdict against him, as llie first resolution did, beloie he had been heard. The same course had been pursued in the case of Houston The letter of ihe individ ual win) slated himself lo hive been kuoeked down on llie avenue was made the basin for lln issue of the Speaker's war rant to bring the offending party lo lliehnr. He would therefore move to amend, by striking out the two first resolutions ; and to amend the third resolution by vtriktng out the word "said" and aforesaid" and inserting before the word " conteinju" the word an alleged. Alter a few remarks from Messrs. Lin coln, Park and Merepr, Mr. Il. i.v- in eliii -d Ins motion to a mend as follo'Vs : Strike out the two first resolutions, uud ins"M ihe following preamble. Ac.

"WJ. were sunuicnt 10 jimmy n.s reiusai Something, he though:, was necessary to' be shown beyond the naked (net of refusal, Mr. Hardin contended that, inasmuch as the refusal of Mr. Whitney to attend be fore the cominittee had been unconditional and absolute, the House ought to direct the Speaker to issue his wairant that the indi vidual might be brought to the bar, and give his reasons here why he did not testify. ' , .,...., Mr. Lane suggested ihat the resolution siMMild be adm m sense' of ihe House thai Mr. Whitney might t;i 1 appear Jbefnre the conimiltee.i, and, if such should be declared, to be the sense of the House, Mr L. undertook fo say that Mr. Whitney would 'appear and answer questions as he ought to answer them. - Mr. Parks moved to amend the re solo lion byaf rf k ing " oti I the words " alleged contempt," and inserting to answer for his conduct in so refusing to appear before the said .-ominittee."
