MIR. CLERNAND hoped that his colleague would with
draw his motion He (Nlr NlcC) was very DESTROYS to
present as briefly as possible his views OF the question
Mi. DOUGLASS withdrew his motion.

in private as well as public his voice and his adnonton
had been against agitang IT. The gentleman from New

when called upon by that gentleman for his opinion he
had advised against the introduction of the question BY the
bill that gentleman had proposed The gentleman from
