way to get it out They were not sent there to
discuss these national questions, bat to confne
themselves 10 the appropriate sphere of Vermont
legislation.
Mr. Harrington observed that much less were
they sent there TO prefer grave allegations against
their Government, and refuse all explanation. The
Senator from Washington offers, if opportunity is
allowed, to prove the charges unfounded. Wus
there Senator present devoid of American
feeling as not to wish to see his Government exon
Grated from these accusations, If it could be done
Mr. Cram hoped that this discussion might be
postponed until after the adjournment of the Legis-
laurc when gentlemen, if they were disposed,
could remain on their own expense, and debate the
question to their hearts content
Mr.. Cushman remarked that the President had
declared the present resolution indivlsble, and
though no appeal had been taken, the decision had
evidently given some dissatisfaction. He had in
his mind precedent which the dissatisfied Sena-
tors would undoubtedly regard as the highest au-
thorlty. bill making appropriations tor war with
Mexico, with preamble declaring that the war ex-
lsed by the act of Mexico, had been introduced IN
to the National House of Representatives and not
outstanding the earnest protesatons of respecta
bic minority, 1t was soemnly decided by the friends
OF Tie administration that the bill and preamble
werc one and nseperable.
Mr. Villas responded that the high precedent
spoken OF by the Senator was not an analogous
case That was II bill, this resolution 1t had
not been shown there was Congressional rule re-
curing a division IN such questions: this Senate
had rule TO that effect, undsputed and explicit
lie strongly hoped that the Senate would Law the
resolution on the table, in order 10 give Senators
the opportunity, which they desired, Of dlsprovlng
It's grave allegations. The Senate had yesterday
decided to lay on the table the original resolution
IN order to give time for consideration ; and he
could see no reason 70; reversing the precedent in
this much more cogent case.

rngton, Miner Page, Rich, Robinson, Smith, and
Villas voting in the affirmative.
The question recurring upon the passage Of the
resolution, it discussed at great length by Mr.
CusIInan IN its favor, as being marked with truth
aud prUprety, and Messrs. Villas, Smith, and 1ur
rngton in the negative, as containing gross error
OF fact which they could not give currency to, as
embarrassing the act on Of Senators who could not
cunsclenliuusy vote for both OF It's branches and
yet were pecluded by the decision made from vot-
ing on each slngly, and containing within itself
palpable Inconsistency III expressing lively gratlti-
cation Tor victory, achieved in war IT, at the
same tlme pronounced wicked and oppressive.
The question was taken some time after candle
light, and resulted as follows:
