Manual, In support OF his views
"When either House sends a bill to the other ,Ie
other may pass it with amendment The regular pro-
gression In this is, the Commons disagree 10 the
amendment; the Lords insist upon it, the Commons in

MIR. A. said he doubted whether in the wbolr inter

House, to adhere their part, and that motion was nc
tuay made, yet SO anxious the House to save The
bill that they did not adhere neither did they reccde
they insisted again, aud asked of the Senate confer

OF the power OF Joshua Of Old who commanded the sun
and the moon To stand still old Time submitted 10 no
such power but moved along rdpss Of what as do
Ing here. The committee OF conference Of the Ilousa
went out, and that committee felt themselves
