the President in few observations.
Mr.. Southard had voted aginst the bill
because he considered tha. its provisions
involved an Inconvenience, but he was
satisfied that Congress had the consttu-
tional power to pass the law, and he could
not therefore sustain the veto, but should
vote for the bill, the decided vote Of the
two Houses having settled the question ct
expediency.
Mr.. Niles sustained the principles OF
the message, and maintained that the blls
I'could not be sustainabe, because ittetter-
ed the successors Of the Congress which

+ Mr.. Mason, Va, suggested that the sub.
ject had been under consideration in the
Committee on Foreign Relations, and that
the committee would, in a few days, report
bill in relation to it. He hoped, therefore,
the gentleman would waive the motion for
the present.
Mr.. Bell said the suggestion was certain
/ ly entitled to weight; but, as he had no
knowledge from any quarter in regard to
| the nature Of the report to be made from
the Committee on Foreign Relations, as
the sentiment in favor of some action on
this subject was very general in the country
and as he had been requested by large
body Of his constituents to bring the SUBJ
iect before the House, he did not feel al lib-
ertv to withdraw the motion. ,o....... -.
