tiouf.n l said ho would make it a point of order,

whether 1111 Icr the ru'.o iho petitions were recognised as being received. The Spr.iKKit said the question was decided last session by a vote of 1 10 to f;7, under tlu Resolution of tho 'J 1th December. The decision was that tho question of reception could not bo

made, but that tlia pcti'ion m ist he, when rc-. m;in coubl not tq on

mole tho samo decision now. Mr. Wish appealed from this decision, and

spoke in opposition thereto.

The l'atton resolution was only agreed to as a temporary expedient. Tho Siuth never intended to give up the question of reception. They deny tho right of Congress to receive these petitions. Ho concurred 'with tho Chair in his construction of the rule. It was tho intention ul tho Atherton resolution to receive Abolition petitions, and fully to recogniso them. The moment a petition was " presented" under tho U :!e, it was, in fu-t, receircd. lut the South would never assent to

this. Thov might as wed yield tho wnole q-ies-
