Mr. SEDDON:--We have one rule already which prohibits any member from speaking more than twice upon any question without special leave, and a member cannot speak a second time until every other, who desires to speak, has spoken. This was the rule, I believe, in the Convention that formed our present Constitution, and no one complained of its operation there. I am as much impressed with the necessity of expediting our action as any one can be, and should be among the last to protract our sessions. But this resolution looks too much like suppressing discussion--like cutting off debate. I desire at the proper time to be heard upon the report which I have submitted. It will be impossible to discuss the grave questions involved in it in the space of a brief half hour. Mr. CHASE:--I hope Governor WICKLIFFE will consent to a postponement of his resolution for the present. It is anticipating a necessity that may not arise. As yet no one has abused the privileges of debate. It is not well to assume in advance that any one will do so. Mr. WICKLIFFE:--I have no wish to press this resolution upon the Convention, and it may be as well to postpone it for the present. I will move its postponement until Tuesday morning next. The motion to postpone was unanimously agreed to. Mr. CRISFIELD:--I move that the hour of meeting hereafter be ten o'clock in the morning. Mr. JOHNSON, of Maryland:--I am sure that we shall all agree that this hour is quite too early. I wish to make all reasonable progress, but I think we shall find it difficult to secure a quorum at that hour. I move to amend by inserting _eleven_ o'clock. Mr. EWING:--I think we had better let the hour of meeting remain where our rules leave it. We shall find our labors severe enough if we commence at twelve o'clock. Mr. CRISFIELD:--I will accept the amendment of my colleague. Let the time of meeting be eleven o'clock. The motion of Mr. CRISFIELD as amended was agreed to without a division. Mr. CHASE:--I have a motion which I desire to make, and as I do not wish to press it to a vote at the present time, I will move to lay it on the table. But I wish to have it before the Conference. It is apparent to me that we ought to pass it at some time, in order to give members who may belong to delegations in which differences of opinion exist, an opportunity of appearing on the record as they personally wish to vote. I move to amend the first rule by inserting after the word "representing," the words, "The yeas and nays of the delegates from each State, on any question, shall be entered on the Journal when it is desired by any delegate." On motion of Mr. CHASE, the amendment was laid upon the table. The PRESIDENT:--The Conference will now proceed to the order of the day, the question being upon the several reports presented by the General Committee of one from each State. The chair was taken, at the request of the PRESIDENT, by Mr. ALEXANDER, of New Jersey.
