cer, requiring Meaara. Wise and Ghotion to
promise not to purcoe their quarrel fuither,

the table, as calculated to do more harm than
good.
Mr. Mercer called tor the Yea and Nay,
which were ordered, and the vote stood 126 to
64 and the resolution dumber on the table
of course.
Tbi being a question of privilege, it had
precedence of all other butiheaa. After it had
been decided, reports of committee were called
for, which occupied the first hour.
Thia beinx over, the following resolution,
(offered hy Mr. Dronson.) wa taken up, in
order.
'Resolved, That Messrs. 8, S. Prentiss, and
T. J, Word re not members of the 25th Con
gress, and are not entitled to seal in thi House
a such. '
Mr. Bell moved, a an amendment, the fol

"I hat the resolution, declaring Messrs.

membere of Jhe S5th Co

the same ought to' be therefore rescinded."
Mr. Prentiss, one of the new member elect,
then roie and addressed tlie house, at length, in
vindication of his, and his colleague's rights,
as member of that hou, elected by the peo
ple of Mississippi, under her Constitution and
Laws, and under tha Constitution of the United
States.
Mr. PrenTiii i a very eloquent speaker, per
fectlly self possessed, fluent, argumentative, and
alternately playful and aevere in his styie.
Tba bouse was very moch crowded, daring his
(perch.
He thanked the house for the courtesy ex
tended toward hiiu aa an individual, while. he
animadverted upon the tardinras with which
the claim of the People of Mississippi had
been attended to by the house.
He took the ground that the house were not
aware of the true atata of the facts; and laid
down three propositions, namely:
1. That Messra. Claiborne . and Gholson
never were constitutionally elected members of
the House of Representatives in the 25th Con
gress. ' ' .
3. If tbey were elected at all, it wa only for
the period anterior to tbo regular election in
November. , ,
9. Himself anil hi colleague hadjegally and
conatitutionally Wen elected, by the people of
Mississippi, as member of the house iu the t5th
H?tfe'n said tiiat they fou no! themselves met
at. the threshold by the recent decision of the
house as to the election f the sitting members:
and this decision he eiaminteil with much ini
notenesas and aaid he should maintain 'five
propositions in reference to it. .
1. That th adoiition, by the house, of the
resolution in favor of Messrs. Claiborne and
Gholson, was not a judicial decision, but the
eipreasion of an opinion,. subject to reversal.
5. That it was no adjudication of the claim
of the present applicant. .
3. That so far aa thia pretended adjudication
went to annul the act of Missisaippi.it wa null
and void, the house having no auch power.
- 4. That that decision was not binding upon
the people of Mississippi, who were not parlies
to it, and had received no notice of the same.
6. That that adjudication had been given up
on a mistake of the facta in the case, and that,
ofcourse.il was subject to review.
These points were argued with much earnest
ness and eloquence, and he was about making
some remark upon the general subject when,
on request of Mr. Patton; h gave way to a ma--lion
ojf.aJjaurmeoti ..-ii
And the House adjourned,
