 question : " 



fotoleed, That, in the opinion of this House, the 

 precedent established by Washington and other 

 Presidents of the United States, in retiring from the 

 presidential office after their second term, has be- 

 come, by universal concurrence, a part of our repub- 

 lican system of government, and that any departure 

 from tnis time-nonored custom would "be unwise, 

 unpatriotic, and fraught with peril to our free insti- 

 tutions. 



The question was put upon seconding the 

 previous question, and on a division there were 

 yeas 144, nays 2. 



So the previous question was seconded. The 

 m:un question was then ordered to be put, be- 

 ing upon the adoption of the resolution.
