§ Mr. Littletonmoved, that the order of the day for the further consideration of the report on this bill be discharged. The rejection of the Catholic Relief bill, in the other House, rendered such a step, on his part, necessary. Were the Elective Franchise, bill to pass without the other, it would produce great dissatisfaction.
