Mr.. KING suggested to the Senator from Ken
lucky, (Mr. Morehead,) as the amendments were
completed to suffer the bill now TO be engrossed to
mems that might arise to hinder the BILL and the
question of the third reading Of the bill the whole
subject would be open for discussion. He was pre-
pared to take the vote the engrossment now, and
thus they would be enabled sooner to take the ques
ton on its final passage.
A further conversation took place, in which Messrs.
CALHOUN and KING desired the question now to
be taken on the engrossment; and Messrs CLAY, of
KY, and MOREHEAD declined binding themselves,
and positively cutting off all amendments, they,
the friends Of the BILL responsible for IL, and in
the haste in which they had gone through il, they
might have passed over some necessary amendments
They would agree to FIX any hour tomorrow which
the opponents Of the bill would agree to-say twelve
