pressed, as it would, doubtless, occasion the adjournment of the house.

solely for the purpose of allowing the opportunity of presenting peeltions, pressing this motion would defeat that object.

should be printed; and as it might be inconvenient to press the motion
now he should withdraw it, and renew it on a future day.
