insssuge 10 the motion which be had made
upon the original message, viz: that II

Mr. WEBSTER rose. He said he had
arrived. in the city, and resumed his sea.
since the debate began, and he rose to
say that he thought the transmission oi
this Protest 10 be one Of the most tmpor-
tsnt and ominous occurrences Of these
extraordinary times. Ii is, said MIR w.
. communication ofso anomalous char

the discrimination oi the Senate 10 know
what preliminary disposition to make Of

against receiving il, although y has been
reud, and it's contents commented on.
seems to hang, at present, IN pendu-
lous condition, between reception and re-
lection. 1t has no resting place. ~ IL
like the coffin of Mahomet, suspended be-
tween heaven and cath, as unit 10 60
higher, and finding no proper ABIDING
place below. But l am unwilling that
the discussion of the great and grave topic
should be embarrassed by questions oi

. kTississippi tor the strong grasp which ne
laid on the principles OF this paper, ct l's
first spoesrance, but ~ to form Of pro-
scediug with h,lconfsss l should have
preferred TO have passed sover the ques'
lion Of reception, and gone at once to the
substsntial character of the Protest. IL
i, too interesting, and will prove 80 too
exciting, and vii! prove 50, TO 60 from the
Senate, till it shall have received such
discussion aud such reply as Il is snIi-
tied to.
