JAMES X. POLK,
/ Washington, May n, 1910,
An interesting debate arose in he Senate on .
, motion 10 PEin, twenty Thousand additional co
pies Uf the Message and accompanying dOcu
menis, and on the question Of reference; and lhI
motion TO PRINT was finally agreed 10.
, In the House Of Representatives, on the TeoeP
ton of the Message. bill having been repOhe'
from the Military committee authorizing the Pre-
sident to accept the services cf volunteers, &c,
. motion was made and carried thar the debat
|. should be limited to two hours. Several amend
= ments were offered to the bin, bu, they were al
h promptly negatiyej, and it finally passed Ii
J. House by a vote Of la To IL.
Those who voted against the bill were Messr
n John Quincy Adams, Ashmun, CranstOn, culycl
i DelanO, Giddngs, GrinnelI, Hudson, Daniel !
= King, Root, Severance, Strohm, Tiden, Vance.
: When the final vote was taken, Mr.. Bayly, I
: Virginia, voted aye, though he protested again
: the declaration of war.
= When Mr.. E. p. Holmes was called, he rose
:, his place and said: @Mr. Speaker, vote ay, b
a cause cannot withhold supplies from our arm
4 in its present condition: but I solennly Pro,c'
= against the preamble to this bin, and pub ly ID
4 nounce II as base, fraudulent and false"
e When Mr.. Albert Smiths name was called, !
e rose airu raIu, Hr7rprsArT, .a.~ ~
= but do so under protest to the preamble Of d
bill, as false in its facts and operating as frau
o upon the nation"
On the 18th, message was received from Il
: House of Representatives, informing the Scna
" of the passage Of the bill authorizing the Pres
). " dent to accept the service of volunteers, &c.
4 The bill was read twice, when Mr.. Allen,
"a Ohio, moved that the previous business be pos
rnnaI until tnrn,r,o,.- .,,l .La, ,t, I'm g.. a
: House be considered.
(. Upon this motion highly interesting deba
r took place, of which the following sketch is fu
Ie nishcd by the correspondent Of the Baliimol
,e American:
70 Mr.. Calhoun said he desired time
, time TO examine his own mind and III
i question. He wished to satisfy hinse
'e as to the fact of declaration Of war
81 the bill from the House.
10 MIR. Allen was opposed to any della
, in the bill. Forty-eIght hours della
~ ~ might be productive Of the greatest mi
c' chief.
j. Mr.. Mangum was willing to vote ,e
70 millions in money and $4,000 Of mel
:, and to do this in thirty minutes, but h
could not consen, that bill should pa:
:. declaring war as was done in the bill b,
,s fore the Senate. Why, he asked, shoul
\. Senators be embarrassed by such que,
,r ton as this! Why declaring war in v,
Il ting men and money! The supple
=. could be voted in half and hour, an
\, there were no objections to any provr
ion Of the bill excep, that which declare
war, in subta if hot in reality.
i Mr.. j. NJ. Clayton pressed the sam
9 considerations upen the majority, ami c!
ri horted ananimity Of acti u, which ";
a. easily accomplished. Th,re were no oI
!" jections to the bill except in one or lw
4 particulars. lf there was any desire
!. obtain nnanimity of action, it would b
,f obtained; aud upon a emn questio
el like This, he REGARDED unanmity as mct
desirable.
ii Mr.. Calhoun said he had no feelin
: whatever upon this subject. The rule
