MIR. Walker, OF Georgia, rose and advert
ed to the decision of the Senate on Tuesday,
by which the bill to increase the salaries of
certain judges was rejected. On ordering
that bill to third reading, the Senate were
equally divided, and the sbill was of course
lost by want of majority in its favor, tho
there was not a majority against it. This
being an unprecedented case in the Senate,
Mr.. w. wished to know il il was competent
/ for member ON either side ola question on
which there was no majority, TO move re-
consideration thereof, under the srule which
only says that member voting with the ma
Jority may move reconsideration.
The President decided that it was con-
formable to the spirit of the rule, to permit
a member voting on that side which pre-
vailed, to move reconsideration and.
therefore, In the present case, as those OPP
posed to the bill had succeeded in defeat
it, even though not majority, it would be
in order for any member who voted on that
side of the question 10 move reconsidera-
| ton.

the bill, to accommodate Mr.. Walker, who

yernments affect opposite principles; It is
the language Of fraud, of hypocrisy not
thatof eroror ignorance. The nation equal
" patronizes the army but the habit Of O.
bedience, and laws of reverence, have p]a-
ced barrier to their resentments. But this
habit may no longer controlth people, when
they shall know that it is already destroyed
by the valiant. The provinces burst forth
into shouts and acclamations at seeing again
promulgated Constitution, which ought
never to have been suppressed. These feel
ings will spread through the whole Peninsu-
la, which will be theatre of courage and
heroism; but if our fond hopes are not rea-
lized, if Heaven does not satisfy such ardent
desires, not on that account will they relin-
ouish their labors as lost. To die in obedi-
ence to liberty will appear to them more a.
greeabIe than to live under the dominion and
caprices of those who seduce the heart of your
Majesty, and are plotting your inevitable
destruction.
