Hence IL may be inferred that Andorsons plurali'

IL is certain that only Wing is elected TO Con

HEIRS OF ROBERT FULTON.

might be taken up.
Mr.. BAGBY hoped the calendar would be fol-
lowed with regularity He was in favor of this

Mr.. TAPPAN remarked that several Senators
were absent who took an interest in this bill, and
hoped that it might be deferred
Mr.. JOHNSON, of Louisiana, thought if there
was any bill which ought to have precedence Of
all others, it was this.
MIR. McDUFFIE said it was shameful to re-
fleet upon the manner in which the invention Of

amined this subject years ago, and was ready to
vote still larger sum than that contained in the
bill without word of discussion.
The bill was taken up and read.
1t was advocated by Messrs. Pearce, Johnson
McDufie, and Woodbridge, and opposed by
Messrs Wright and Henderson. The hour of

ter, respecting the sales in Ohio, after ample dis
