and for this reason Principally was II lhaI ne iad
made the motion to raise this committee Ii 1t could

10 the subject in the interim. But he desired 10

let them 90 on with the appropriation bills and other
public business.
Some further remarks were made by Messrs
Westcott. Foote and Hale in which the latter stated

Mr. Niles as usual rose to close the periorman-
zoos of the dav. His attention was chiefly directed

sbout dissolution of the Union by Northern men,
had not told them how the Union was to be saved

principles.

Mr. Berrien referred TO the necessity OF calmness
in a discussion which TO 20 out Tor the eXalnl-
nation Of the people. He did not despair o'a settle

far greater state Of excitement existed in the pubLIc
mind He prayed that the question might ne taken
on the proposition of the Senator from Delaware,
that might be seen whether they were to be passed
with that CLEAN of light which bad been so hap

The debate was further continued by MessrS;
