the gentleman from Maryland proposed waiting
now. that some person migh have time to maks
objections to it. tack somohhg else TO il for the
purpose OF killing it, he should certainly be opposed
10 the motion.
MIR. Chandler agreed with the gentleman from
Missouri. that il not, in general cases, prop
er to stop bill on its passage that some person !
might have an opportunity to make alterations in |
il. But this was a somewhat different case; GER
tain persons were named in the bilt to receive |
sum Of money from the Government; but at an |
other time, some persons might come forward,
pleading that they were left out, and claim 10 be
included in the benefits Of the bill. As there was
no particular necessity for having it hurried
through now, he moved that the further consid- |
Grafton Of the bill be postponed till Monday next
Mr. Iazewell could not see that any good rea-
son had been assigned for the postpone ment. The
ball had come to ts present stage in the ordinary
way II had been introduced in the ordinary way,
gone through committee in the ordinary way,
been approved. read, and passed in the ordinary
way. anu as every thing else had, ever since he
had been member Of the Senate, and if this was
passing bill in hurry he was mistaken. What
was the object OF the postponemenR Ii was
known that other persons than those included in
the bill had applied during its progress last year,
their memorials had been presented and supported
by the gentleman from Maryland, claiming to be
included, that their pretensions were eXamin-
Cd. aud that they were refused admission
same claim; they had had the same oppor,u.
nifty; it was known that tfc subject was be-
lore the Senate, and perchancc they might come;
was that any reason for the postpoaement OF the
6,N Their claims had been fully discussed, and
the Senate, by large majority passed on the
claims oil these people during the discussion of the
last session Did the gentleman expect that the
same Senate. for the same gentlemen generally
were present would go over the same grounds a
gain, and not have the opinion upon the sub.
llect! 1t any gentleman wished the bill postponed
That he might examine Che report Of the last ses-
sion' and have time to make up his opinion, he had
no o91e c''on 70 waiting, but on the other ground he
should oppose the postponement.
Mr. Chambers said ne did not recoect all the
facts stated by the gentleman from Virginia. Last
year an individual who claimed an admission for
insei and his associates, resided in this city, and
knew The state oil tile bill at all its stages he did
know that the same individual was now acuua;nt-
Cd with the proceedings. He did not, however,
nj that time make out his clai the reality of the
documents he produced in his favor was doubted,
ana the bill was not altered. After the bill had
passed the Senate, and had been sent to the House
-aiterit was beyond the power and control Of the
oenate-othcr proofs came before them tending 10
establish the validity of his claim. He saw no
reason why the bill should be urged so early in the
session; If II was not passed till the next week or
the week after, it would still be early and as this
individual had not intimated that he had abandoned
ms claim, he thought that an opportunity should
still be given for a full hearing
MIR. Prince said, that he was in the predica.
ihent mentioned by the gentleman from Virginia;
ne was new member, and had not formed his o.
plnion: He remembered reading the report at the
ume It was published, but he had onlv an indis
tnct recollection of its purpor and did not wish 70
vote at present. He was disposed to pay all res
poet, and some substantial respect to the officer
VINO commanded in that expedition, and TO his GAL
i Ia crew. he should be glad to read the report
OF tho last year, and refresh his memory little
and moved that the further consideration be post
poned till TO- morrow.
MIR. Tazewell replied, that tho gentleman from
ueo,sla hau assigned reason for the postpone

as Tor postponing bill to if some person might
not come IN with an objection to it, he should al
