consideration he would again cheerfully cali il up
Mr. Foster did not doubt the patriotism Of the
Senator from Orange, and hoped that no one would
doubt his own. He was in favor Of the substance |
Of the resolution but he doubted whether ii could
not be varied as to assume 4 shape aud form

Mr. eastman had no objection to the resolution.
Thanks were due, and thanks, he thought, should
be rendered But many Senators doubted wheth'

one. And, he would submit TO the Senator from
Orange, who no doubt would at once admit that

harm 10 forcgo the exhibition Of il few hours
longer.
Mr. Smith would have no objection to laying the
resolution upon the table, if any particular good
