THURSDAY, APRIL 90.
IN SENATE.

The Senate resumed, as in committee OF
the whole, the unfinished business ofyesterday
being the consideration of the bill from the
House OF Representatives 10 amend the
several acts for imposing duties on Imports -
Mr.. King, of Ala. was called to the chair.
Mr.. Lloyd, of Mass. moved to amend the
bill, by striking ont the following clause :
On hemp, two cents per pound"
MIR. LLOYD addressed the Seuate in SUP
port of his motion. He expressed his high
estimation for the gentlemen from Kentucky.
and regretted that this motion would not, pro-
baby, meet their appreciation. He proceeded
to shew the importance Of this article, and the
improbability Of sufficient production to
meet the demand for consumption. He
portrayed the course which had been pur-
sued in regard TO the agricultural interests of
the Northern States. From their formerem-
barrassed situation they had recovered, and
had now become prosperous and happy, IN
aided ny any extraordinary assistance by way
OF duties from the government. He spoke
particularly Of the encouragement which had
already been extended to the domestic growth
OF hemp, and the failure to produce it in any
considerable quantity. Mr.. l.. adverted TO
the causes Of this failure, and the want Of the
natural advantages necessary to the growth Of
this article. Even If Kentucky could raise the
article in sufficient quantities with this pnor-
nous bounty to encourage the growth, he
said, the cordage made from it would come
higher than that ofany other part Of the world
where it is made.
Mr.. CHANDLER said he rose 10 give the
reasons which would govern him in his vote
on this question. He voted against striking
out the article ofiron, not because be would
vote for the bill az it came from the House,
which he could. not do, but because he was
willing to give an opportunity so TO amend
the bill, If possible, as TO make ii acceptable,
and so as to bear equally on the several sec
lions Of the Union, and that each section may
receive equal benefits but, TO give it this ef.
feet, the bill must undergo material changes.
