called.
Mr HAYMosn hoped the House would disagree to
the Senates amendment, changing the name Of "Dod-
bridge" He satisfied, that the people OF the
county would be very glad 10 have that name, which
was popular in the new county, and the whole West,
whose great defender Mr.. D. was
Mr. STEPHENSON warmly sustained the name Of
"Doddr,dse" He protested against the stigma at
tempted to be cast the West, and one Of her most
| d,s,no uished sons. Was it not strange consumma
ton that the people of the West should have come
to the East 10 obtain name, among the Riiches and
the Tylers, for their new counties ? Western men
would soon begin 10 come TO the East for wives, and
he admitted that the Eastern ladies' were charming
creatures The name of Taylor was peculiarly objec-
tonable his doctrines had been universally opposed
10 the interest of the West while Doddrdge had been
the uniform and able champion of the West Ii the
name Of Doddrrdge be now stricken ont. it would cast
a stigma his memory, and would mortify the feel
ings of his surviving daughters, wha, amidst their
hard lot proud of his fame. Mr. S. thought,
that Western members had humbled their high char
ac,ers, by being frequently bought up here by The
| East with mess of potage.
Mr. Lacy agreed with Mr. as to the name-but
did not think Eastern Virginia deserved the rebuke of
the gentleman from Tyler. The members from Eas-
tern Virginia had taken no part in the naming the
county-but had left that matter to be settled entirely
by the Weslern members. MIR. S. paid high
pl,ment to Philip Doddrdge lie thought it would be
a reflection upon the family of Mr.. D. now to strike
out his name.
Mr. STANTON regretted 10 see the gentleman from Ty-
Ter attempting sectional feeling The friends of
the new county perfectly satisfied with the name
Of Taylor, Of the most dting uished of Virgil
mia Mr. S denied the mpuation upon the members
Of Western Virginia who had been charged with being
warped by "mess of pottage Mr.. said the gentle
mans object 10 defeat the bill, and he hoped the
Eastern members would not be Influenced by the con-
sideration thrown out by the gentleman from Tyler
| Mr. WITcHER hoped The House would disagree to
the Senates amendment This was Western coun.
ty, and he thought it should be named after MIR bod
bridge, who was Western man md resided in the
same section Of the country Mr.. w. thought would
be construed into a stigma the memory of MIR Dod.
bridge, to strike out his name. Moreover, IT would
tend to excite ill-feeng between the East and Tue
West Mr.. w expressed high admiration Tor the Ia
Tents and virtues of Doddridge.
| MIR. MORGAN said the three members ano the Two
Senators from the counties out OF winch thus new conn-
" made were opposed to the name OF Doddf'dge,
which was sustained by only member from 'hose
counties Mr. hoped IN. The LOUISE ~ ,h no. pn'
ty. Mr.. NJ. would propose, If no objection was made,
as compromise. The name OF "McDoweH. upon
which all would agree on account OF his distinguished
services MIR said, if any stigma be cast on the
memory Of Mr.. Doddridge, the responsibility must be
borne not by him. Mr. M } but by those who brought
forward the OF Doddt,dge-to whom majority o.
the delegation from The section of the county, had
gwen notice, that they SHOULD resist the name of Dod-
bridge.
| Mr. HAYaoSp had not been aware Of any opposition
TO the name Of Doddrdge. but the Senate had discarded
both the names proposed by Mr.. Morgan and himself,
and had adopted the name Of Taylor, whom the peo
pie of the new county scarcely knew while they all
knew and loved Philip Doddridge.
/ Mr. AypERsnN should no for The name OF Taylor,
which was approved by all The friends of the bill This
was sufficient for The adoption oil The name oil
Taylor Otherwise, the bill might be seriously endan-
pered by being banded about between the two Houses.
| Mr. A. paid a high compliment to the character and
talents Of John Taylor Of Caroline.
Mr.. SruRM, as delegate from county, from which
a part of the county was taken, said The name OF
aTaylo would sound sweey - the ears Of the peo-
pie OF the new county. They were thankful 10 their
friends of the East for the new county, AID would be
most willing TO receive the name oil Taylor.
! Mr.. STEPngSsoS called the ayes and noes.
Mr.. LAsIER insisted upon retaining the name Of
"Doddrdge."
/ Mr. ARMSTRONG of II. said the people of the ne
county would be content with any name He did not
reract any ndation Of the high services Of Mr..
Doddrdge, but he should GO for the Senaies amend
men for fear that the ball would be lost II we disagree
TO said amendment.
Mr. BRoApUs should go for the Senate's amendmen nj,
as il was apparent that the bill might be lost by dsa
greeting to a change, which was not very material.
Mr.. TAYLOR thought it would cast an imPutation on
the Of Doddrdge, by erasing his name at the pre-
sent time He thought majority Of the Western
members were in favor of sDoddridge," and their pc
culiar feelings should be gratifed. lie thought i
would not risk the bill, if we disagree TO the Senate
amendment.
Mr.. BYRD Of F. rose to dscaim ony intention to cus
reflection on the memory of Mr.. Doddrdge by voting
for the Sena,es amendment. lie thought the bill
would be endangered, if we do not concur in thai
amendment.
The Senate's amendment was concurred in by the
following vote:
