Mr.. Bauinger epokc at considerable length, anu
with earnestncss. in support Of the amendment.
MI. Gorham was opposed 10 trying this offcn de-
b1tcd and long contested question OF diminution Or
abolition OF the salt duty; and this bill which was Of
great Importance, had been reported unanimously,
and received the general assent of the House, and
Eght be defeated if this amendment prevailed, or
was again debated at largo. lie therefore for the
fret time in his life, moved the precious question: but
withdrew il at the request Of
Mr. McDufiie, who avowcd his opposition TO the
Salt duty one Of the most odous and oppressive
features Of the system by which the South was bur
dened; but IL tho amendment were adopt Cd il would
not only embarrsss the bill, but possibly defeat It,
lie hoped. therefore, the motion would be withdrawn
and not force resort TO the previous ques.on,
pecially as there was bill to come up (which he
namedl on which the motion would be consistent and
proper.
MIR. Conner denied that the motion would einbar.
rass or deieat the bill, because it there was ma3r
y for the amendment, the same majority would pass
the bill. lie therefore, for this and other reasons
which he stosed, but could not be distinctly heard
insisted on the amendment.
Mr. ScDufiic, then moved the previous question:
which was seconded by majority of the House.
Mr. Barrnger demanded the ayes and nays on the
previous question; winch we're taken, and the main
question was ordered. Ayes io7, noes IS.
The main question was accordingly put, Ton the
engrossment of the billy and carried, and the bill or
derej TO third reading.
