der whicl. it was the happy lot of the
american people 20 be cast; and he
was always ready to receive aud pay due

ference, because it would be impossible

port on all of them at this session: be-

the evidence being before the Senate;
and, ifan attempt were made to refer it,
with others, to the Judiciary, 1t would
certainly fail, He argued at some
length on different points bearing on
the question.
Mr.. Smith thought the trial by jury
the great palladium of the liberties and
the rights ofthe people, but not the pro
per tribunal for such cases as this. 1t
belonged especially to Congress-itw was
part of the duties which they were
sent here to perform there was plenty
oftime for it; as there was no period fix
ed for an adjournment; and he had no
idea the session would close until about
the second quarter of the noon in May.
He spoke some time to shew the inexpe
diency and danger of the public interest
of referring those claims to the courts,
and particularly against the amendment
offered to take the present case alone.
He denied the superior promptitude of
the courts in deciding, where it was no
torious that causes remained undeter-
mined for ages, and whole generations
of parties passing away without obtain
ing decision.

ference to the claim of Maison Rouge

Mr.. Macon observed that, as this was
the first time in which this principle
was adopted by Congress, he requested
the ayes and noes On the question.
The question was then taken on the
proposition to refer the claim to the Ju-
dietary, and decided as follows: Yeas 80,
Nays Is.
