[Laughter, and some applause in the galleries.] The President said the Sergeant-at-Arms will clear the galleries if it occurs again. Mr. Hale said--Mr. President, that threat was made one, two or three times yesterday --now is the time to carry it out.

Mr. Holman offered a resolution declaring that the right of secession was wholly unwarranted by the letter and spirit of the Constitution; that mutual and common obligations render it obligatory on the Federal Government to enforce, in good faith, the laws enacted pursuant to its authority; and instructing the Committee to inquire whether any action is necessary (in view of the present condition of public affairs) against an attempt by any State to nullity the laws necessary for the existence of the
