Mr. Bradley sad he thought the bill confined as
fir and equitable division n would be found lie
hoped rash measures wonld not be used towards the
bill. Ii the gentleman had any good reasons Tor his
course nc would like to hear them.
Mr.. kelso said that committee had been ap-
pointed 10 bring IN a b. H. and though the committee
had not agreed upon bill, they had gwen their
views, and left II with the chairman To BRING ~ a
bill , and he though, II taking great deal upon his
hands for one Senator to bring IN Il bill but II II
was agreed upon b few in secret, II was stil
more reprehensblc. As for the district offered his
people he vas sure il would not be agreeable tc
their w.hcs.
SIR Walpoe said he was truly the friend Of tie
gentleman from sw.izcrand; but he could not cup
port 80 rash and supplementary course. Ill
knew the gentleman from Parke had introduced
bill in which the Senators from Switzerland ano
Jefferson were thrown into the same district; bu
he belicvedthe from laric had spositior
to 60 u Congress his bill, he thought, had not
teen framed aith that view.
Mr. Br ghi: II may be proper that s7y some
thing IN Justification of my course. The committee
divide the State into congressional districts, had
tina, lie thought list and right. lie had performed
that duty and bel eyed the committee would clear
him from acting ith sinister motives lie knew
ihat, let Senators act as they would upon tins eX
citing subject. their natives would be impugned
(Nr. WalPole: I'll take that back j bu' ne hoppe
TO act hereafter IN such manner 10 remove al
su>picions of this kind.
Mr.. Dobson said this subject was developing a
interesting flct-how many Senators hid an Itch
in- fer Congress. ~ for the action Of the COMMITTEE
on this subject il was true they had not agree
upon a bill but he believed, with very It'll; OK
cep,on. tie bill introduced by the chairman wa
acceptable TO the committee. lie thought the chair
in.n had introduced 1t in good faith. lie believed
however. he should vote against the rejection q
SIR. Bradley bill.
The rrcston further discussed 10y Ncssrs
Wet, bradley, DAVIS, Farmer and kelso; when
tlr. nchey said he thought the practice ba
one. OF hcapiHg enc bill upon the other, until on
table is loaded down with bills. all Of which mus
be printed. lie thought the proper mode of pro
cceGure To taSe up the bill introduced by Ia
chairman Of the committee, and amend II TO su
ourselves. rather than introduce separate bills
SUI, our several notions. lie should therefore vot
fo' the rejection.
SIR. aipolc spoke at length. in reply II the re
marks Of Mr. keIso. that the bill introduced by NJ
Bradley. contained, by the vote Of $50. nine of tn
ten districts, wing. lie referred them To the opir
ION If gentlemen on the floor of the Senate, an
asked II nine Of ten OF these districts can be Gale
whig!
Mr. West dscaimcd having said anything abou
this bill being whig bill. lie protested again'
making this question one OF party. That eqult
I'D Justice should guide Us, and not party feeling
and party considerations.
Mr. Pennington thought the introduction Of tn
biz by Mr. BRADLEY, was out OF order. But one bi
upon the same subject, could be introduced at IN
came time. The bill introduced by the Senate
from Jefferson surprised him. from the fact that
seemed To be impartial. lie was much please
with the bill. believing IT To be an equitable one.
Mr. Rtchey SAID that what remarks he had mad
was not made with any view to party asccndency
that the distictng of the State should be done wit
the view OF uniting the great inteFes's OF the conf
Try. -,
Nr Collins concu5rel with the remarks ct VI
Hiichcy. that union of interests should be the OF
yet lie believed he did not entirely apP.os
either Of iAc bills.

rascd tie question of tAc right Of reception while
