According to an his- torian of the time, once in a while, amid the din, some member with a good voice would start up the "Mar- seillaise," "God Save the Queen," "A le claire fetitaine," "The Raftsman's Chorus", dr some plantation melody, and then the whole House would joir in the song with an effect that was quite moving. The feelings inspired by these songs would sway the House back into a quiet frame; but scarcely would the speaker who had the floor recover the thread of his discourse when such a pandemonium would be raised as made the listener think "chaos has oome again" Wihen a speaker had at last made himself heard over the diminishing din of ex- hausted voices, and when he himself bad exhausted his subject, he would keep the floor by quoting passages from law books, hooks of poetry, philosophy and humor. merciful menllber for South Lanark; rises.
