before the paper had hcCn printed EnG time Lai
oeen given for that deliberate consideration Of its
contents which obviously ought Ia prrcede such n
debate. The Senate had been sufficiently familiar
with communications Of this kind TO know what
course Il was propert % pursue, even had The Con-
situion len i: without any directions. But th,tin-
StEumcnt had prescribed the course To be pursued.
II directed that, when 4 bill should be returned f,m
the President, With his objections, the objections,
SHOULD first be recorded upon the Journal, and hen
Inc body should pro ecd TO reconsider the BILL; thrt.
ut should receive the assent of two. thirds of no

clock, proceed 10 consider the Presidents objections
to the bill and that, IN the mean time, the E1ecu-
i've communication just received Ee laid upon the
table and printed.
Mr. KING suggested that, as the Consideration Of
the Presidents objections must be taken up before
the Senate could proceed tn any other business. tho
hour had better be fixed at 10 instead of ~ O'Clock.
He was in favor Of the motion to print. The 10.
cumcnt was a highly important one. Every Sera.
tor was bound c~'rciully and serious v to examine
IT, for hrmsci, and 1t ought, without delay, To 90 to
The People, that they might bc enabled to Judge Of
the Presidents course. he therefore moved the
printing Of 5000 extra copies Of the message for the
use Of the Senate.
