Or, rather, made a part of such speech; for without concluding he gave way to Mr. How- ard to make a motion to print and to postpone the further consideration of the subject until to-morrow.

This elicited calls for ‘-order’’ on the Democratic side, and Mr. E. reasserted his right to the floor, and moved to postpone until to-day.
