adopted an amendment offered by Mr. Crutcbhsld,
and one or two Of no great importance, offered by
Mr. Tolor, this last named gentleman proposed TO
amend the bill by inserting clause providing that
the States quota under Redistribution ill fhal be
received and ,hltt be appropriated to this and other
works Of internal Improvement. Mr. r. supported
this amendment by what VIC conceived to DO unan.
