( MR. CLINOMAN.
1 In the limine of Benrescntativ?, on
Mr. Clinginan rising, said he wished to
make an inquiry of the gentleman from
Tennessee, Mr. Johiuwn, as to whether
he understood him corwctly in saying that
North Carolina was slumbering long.
Mr. Johnson diwilainW any disrespect
to the Suite, but meant that she was not so
for word some of the- States, &e.
Mr. Clinginan said that many - persons
thought Northaroiina asleep, merely be
cause she was not always talking; that whfn
talking only was to be done, she left il to
oihcrs; but when the time for action arriv
ed) no State wtis Ijefore her. As soon as
the news of the battle of Iexingtnu arrived,
(more than a year before the Declaration of
Independence,) or within a few days there
after, the people of North Carolina met to
gether in Mecklenburg, and in a number of
the other counties, ami at once formally dis
solved the bands which had caimeetcd them
with Great Britain, and established a rov-
eniment for themselves. If there, should
be a necessity for action to protect the rights
and liberties of the South, no State would
be more forward than she in any proper
action.
Mr. C. further said, that this being the
first occasion on which he had been before
the House ill any way, to prevent miseon
centioa as. to his views, he thought pro'ieriiv
to say, that though his course in voting fr
a Speaker was lUfTei.nt from that of 'the j
gentlemen from Georgia referred to, yet he
approved the course- of ri inark ill i w hirh
they had iiidtilged.rye?lerday .The senli
nitnts "generally expressed by Mr. 'J'oomhs
liot lis wwrtliulf approlaoril aiid"4te- had- nf
peateilly s;.id that the speech ol tlMit gentle

and eloquent he had ever hoard, as was
evident from the profound aiyrcxciied sen
sation it pruduccaovcr the House. Li. Jiia
?rnernl views, as wr1! hs iTii.ao of Ms rri1,-

southern members, being in the minority

on the substitute adopted in committee,
Mr. Duer expressed himself in favor of
luck j, (Mr. Boyd,) if he would amend it
by making their adoption temporarily un

Mr. Boyd so modified his resolution,
and also enlarged the committee in time.
He then moved the previous (question.
Mr. Scbenck advocated the! adoption of
Ihe proposition submitted by him on Mon

vote by the House.
Mr- Root said the gentleman was too
late. The Speaker had been elected by
almost an unanimous vote and ft was
him the power to appoint tl commit
tees. "The gentleman should have
thought oft Lis before the adoption of tba
plurality principle, by which the Speaker
was elected.
Mr. Giddings expressed himself favora
ble to the views of Mr. Root. Eferjr
man of experience knew thai if the plural
ity principle was adopted li e gemlrma
from-Georgia would be the Speaker. He
had so informed bis Whif friends. He
had told the Whigs thai if they would
t ske up a Northern Whig in favor of the
Wilmot Proviso, he could be eleetol.--But
they did it not. but did that w hich

Mr. Winihrop objected to making nn
fvvers to interrogations of aiiy man in re
