from Virginia said the President could not allow his conscience

President could approve survey Of the Dead Sea. He did
speak suthontavey but he asked the gentleman from
Virginia Il not So that the President bad approved

TO do that which often done when officers for

Dir. STEPHENS, then, understood the gentleman from
Virginia TO say that they not sent out but that on their
APPLICATION permission given them survey the Dead Sea-
Mr. BAYLX Not to survey il, that would depend upon
the sense In which the gentleman used the word survey
The word survey have diff meanings And be said
something Of the Of the word in the stanza Of
"I am monarch Of all survey"

Mr. STEPHENS replied that the in which he used
the word was 70 examine explore make observations &c.

Mr.. MEADE would only reply to the gentleman from

gentleman and his party had learned that the President would
veto the bill with this item, after the had been taken in

He seemed to have conceived an attachment for

was the only relief he had from his counting
