In the Senate, the resolution of Mr. CLAW heretofore
offered, providing that any subject which, at the daily
adjournment OF the Senate shall be under discussion
shall be taken up the next morning, as soon as the
Senate meets, was Consdeeed
Mr. Benton objected He remarked upon the proo
col OF business prescribed for the Senate by Nh Clay
Mr. Clay said that he had the same right to offer
propositions here that any other senator had II any
one denied this right let him rise and say So Asto
the protocol u,ness which he had submitted he had
merely thrown II out as a suggestion, and left to
others to call il up and add il or alter it. But did
any one here wish to proract the session by throwing
1t open to all the ordinary legislation Certainly we
should conlne our business To the objects which b0i
US here Without the rule which he now offered we
could make no progress in business Next week we
should have the bank bill before us, and he intended
then to propose that should meet al 10 o'clock in
te morning, and instead OF wasting the hes, part Of the
