Mr.. HUDSON said seemed to him that the motion sug-
gcsted by the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. CoBB) was a
very singular motion to print document which was
not yet prepared He presumed that when the minority OF
that committee should make report there would be dis
position the part Of the House suppress but the idea
Of ordering document be printed which was not now in
existence seemed him very extraordinary indeed and very
Objectionable When a report presented, and motion
made print il was competent for any gentleman TO call
Tor It's reading and the reading would enable the House to
judge whether il suitable to be printed or not But how
could they call upon the House 10 vote document which
not yet in exsence-whch would perhaps be written by
somebody at future period The question was an en-
rey different one the House could not judge until the re-
port was presented whether il should be printed II the re-
port was presented he certainly would vote TO pint i, unless
there was something very Objectionable, very much out Of
character IN II, which he did anticipate from this commit
tee any committee OF the House but he could not vote TO
print that any other document until such document
prepared Il seemed him, while the gentleman from Geot.
ga bad shwn his usual ingenuity he had not presented case
which would bear Examination at ALL II any gentleman on
this side Of the House should for the printing of do
cumen which was not yet prepared and which perhaps never
would be- ne presumed that gentleman would be among the
very first to inerpcse his objection
Now, suppose thy ordered this report to be printed and
printed together with the minority report which might be
made OF some u'u PERIOD and suppose the minority should
conclude no, TO make report what would become Of this
majority report Why, ordered to be printed on
condition precedent which might never be complied with
