Some conversation took place, q

took part ON suggestion 10 melude in the

conversation
Mr.. Jennings remarked, tha, the re-
solution presented 10 him objections,
either with or without the pending
amendment, which would induce him to
vote a alnst ii in either shape. Some
gentlemen wished for the information, to
enable thein to form a correct estimate
whether toe much money was mol paid
for the surveys of the public lands, while
others wanted it for the purpose OF know
ine whether the official conduct OF the
surveyor general Of Illinois, Missouri
&c. has been eptioaable. H

'ieved that officer had not discharged his
du,y, they ought 10 go direc,i, TO then
