A bill in- troduced in the House, embracing such « provision, r ceived its quietus ons motion to strike out all after the enacting claus’,which motion prevailed. The yeas and nays were not takenon the motion, but trom a view of the members rising in the affirmative, it was evidenced that the whig side of the house was opposed io the “homentend” bill, and the democratic side in favor of it.
