pOStponement, as he teared II might en-
danger the bill, which had already been
postponed through all the moods and
lenses. 1t had been lost in the other

sales were pledged, had been paid off.
Mr.. Walker replied to obviate the
objection of Mr.. Otis {; and the post
ponement was supported by Mr.. Noble

A reconsideration of the vote was
subsequently moved and agreed to: and
the motion to postpone being then ne

The Senate resumed the considela-
ton of the bill and amendment.
Mr.. King of Alab. had no hope. from
the indications which he saw, that the
amendment would be adopted but, if
the change proposed by the bill should
take place he had no doubt the lpgisla-
ture would see tho necessity of some
such relief as the amendment offered.
He would now merely call for the yeas
and nays on the question.
The amendment was supported by
Messrs, Edwards and King Of AIab.
and was opposed by Messrs. Trimble,
Lanman, and King Of New York not
because opposed to affording the relief
contemplated, but from an unwilling
ness to connect it with the present bill,
&c. &c.
The question being taken on the a.
mendment. it was decided by yeas and
nays as follows
