Mr., KING would suggest TO The honorable Senator
from Kentucky, inasmuch as the bill must be disposed
Of before they could 90 on with other business that
he move 10 proceed with the subject at ten o'clock to-
morrow He was in favor printing the message as
Il was very important document, which they should
have themselves, and which should go TO the country,
that the country might have opportunity to eonsi

to 10 tomorrow which would give them more time
for the consideration of the subject as they would not
probably receive the printed Message till that time
Mr. RlVES suggested to the Senator from Ken
lucky, that eleven o'clock would be preferable hour
to which TO postpone the consideration of the bills
as Their morning hour expired at that time, and II
would be better TO proceed Immediately to the con-

the Land Bill, and then be broken of to take up this
