could be gained by it. lie was bound to suppose
that every Senator would he in favor of propose
ton reasonable, and however pleased he might
be- TO crafty The feelings of so nc Senators, and ex
tend The courtesy desired still he thought it would
involve an unnecessary waste Of time, which might
be devoted to most advantageous purposes
Mr. Villas, inasnuch he had been personally
appealed to- would say that, however lie srors, I'M
der other circumsoncescs, he might be to accord
the courtesy asked the discussion had taken such
a direction, that he felt he could not do il. The
resolution hid been opposed, and their delay in its
passage would be construed into doubt of its pro-
priely. 1t contained a simple proposition, and the
Senate could act upon it as well now as ever.
Mr. Kimball said that it did strike him, that the
Senator did not extend the courtesy which those
who asked it were entitled to. Why this sudden
religious zeal that mauilrsts itself upon the part OF
of the Senator? The thanks returned world be
us acceptable at any time hence as Tomorrow. Nay,
if the feelings expressed really entertained
by the gentleman, these thanks were already
ding TO the Governor Of the universe, and He knew
liz. To do this, there no necessity TO await a
formal occasion. He differed from his honorable
colleague in regard to the propre,y Of the act pro-
posed. He thought that the soldiers who iou hit
our battles wer, justly entitled 10 our sympathy,
aud that should devoutly return thanks for the
success that had crowned their arms. Whatever
might be his feelings respecting the necessity Of
the war, still he would rejoice in its successful
prosecution. But out Of courtesy TO Senators who
wanted time to consider, he hoped the resolution
would be laid on the table, so that, after proper
consideration, it might be again taken up and prop
erly disposed of.
The question then taken and resulted in The
affirmative; yeas -, nays z, Messrs Flfield, Har-
ringtnn Miner Page, robinson, Smith, and Villas
voting in The negative.

A message was received from the House, an
nouncing It's n Inconvenience in the Senale's
mendment to tie bill in construction of the act in
