70 give time for further consideration of

This motion was ncgativcd, so to -.
Mr.. Williams of \. Carulina expressed
his wish To have more authentic inrorma.
ton of the expressions of GENERAL I,afay-
cite on the subject of visit to the United
States. He thought the House was net in
possession of such information on the sub
Ject as would justify acting upon il : inti-
mating, thai if he was properly apprizcd
OF the facts alleged in the preamble, he did
not know that he should object TO the reso-
buttons,
Mr.. Brent Of Louisiana said he did not
consider it material, To a decision on these
resolutions, whether or not it was the wish
OF tho Marquis La Fayette TO visit the e.
States. But Mr. Il. said he had seen Let
tiers from the Marquis himself, expressing
that wish. He had seen letter addressed
to Mr.. Davezac, of New Orleans, wherein
Marquis Lafayette stated that it was his
intention to visit the United States once
before he died. One of his colesru.stalso
Mr. LlvnSston) had received a letter To
the same effect. Mr.. d. said he hoped on this
occasion, not only an affirmative but unan-
imous vote. 1t was unnecessary for him
to refer to the value of the services which
General Lafayette had rendered to This
country IN the war of the Revolution
They were too deeply ensravcn in the bo-
som To need to be revived TO his recollee-
ton. The resolutions would cause no ex-
pense, and establish no precedent. The
'iouse had, from various unofficial sources
MI the Information they could desire ON
ih's subject, and he hoped the resolve
would pass.
MIR. Rich of Vermont moved to almond
ne resolution by striking out the words ,
expressed an ANXIOUS wish" and insert in
'tn ,nerr4t announced his intention" toI
'isIt the United states, Sc, l.
