Mr. WILMOT:--I object to that very strenuously. Many delegations are divided. I hope the resolution will pass as it is. Mr. HACKLEMAN:--I approve of the rule as it now stands. Practically, it gives ten minutes. Mr. RANDOLPH:--I move to lay the resolution on the table. We adopted the rule unanimously. Mr. WILMOT:--The motion is not in order. We have once voted not to table the resolutions. Mr. HOUSTON:--I will withdraw my motion, at the instance of the gentlemen around me. Mr. CHASE:--The question is upon the adoption of the resolution offered by Mr. BACKUS. I have accepted it in place of the one offered by myself. The PRESIDENT:--It is subject, at any time, to a motion to lay on the table. Mr. RANDOLPH:--That is my motion. The motion to lay the resolution of Mr. BACKUS on the table was lost by the following vote--the vote by States being requested by Mr. CHASE: AYES.--Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Virginia--10. NOES.--Connecticut, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, and Vermont--10. Mr. GUTHRIE:--I presume we all desire to know the result of our labors. I regret to see so much feeling manifested. Perhaps some of us had better take the benefit of the prayers of the church on Sunday. Some of us wish to get our propositions to Congress at an early hour. Those who oppose us--those determined to defeat action, can speak on until the fourth of March. I hope such is not their intention. Mr. TUCK:--If the rule is abused, the Convention will stop the abuse. At this point there were loud calls of "question," and the President put the question to vote, _viva voce_. The PRESIDENT:--I think the Noes clearly have it. Mr. CHASE:--A vote by States was called for by several members. Mr. BARRINGER:--Is this resolution intended to give the right of reply? If so, we shall have a half-hour speech upon every amendment. Mr. BACKUS:--If any member wishes to divide his time, he can do so; but he can only occupy ten minutes in all. We are called to deliberate, as well as to act. We are asked if we wish to stave off final action? I answer, No. I want speedy action. But at the same time let us have deliberation. I wish to give a vote that my constituents will approve. The PRESIDENT:--The vote will be taken by States. The resolution was adopted by the following vote: AYES.--Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Vermont--11. NOES.--Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Virginia--9. Mr. HALL offered the following, which was read, laid on the table, and ordered to be printed:
