mite postponement of the bill. = -. i'@-'
In making this motion Mr.. Mosey said he did not
rise for the purpose of discussing the merits of the
bill particularly, but simply to remind the House
that it was matter of grave momeHt-a bill of vast
Importance and consequently we should not act upon
it hurriedly and indiscreetly. 1t is true Sir, that
clad with some little authority 1t is true that we
free people of the Old North State it is also that
they have confded great trust in u.s. and therefore
expect that we will advocate every measure, adopt
every plan, and in fine. use our utmost exertions,
feeble though they may be, for the of every
thing which may think will rebound In the least
degree imaginable their interest, good being, and
welfare. But, Sir, eontend that in attempting to
eradicate, as 1t were great fundamental principle,
the will of those who sent usshould be directly con-
suited should not merely suppose what is the :,
will of the people, but should, as far possible,
have it reduced certainty. sincerely hope that
this matter will not be acted this session of the
Legislature but, Sir, as large majority of those
this floor will probably be candidates in eighteen
hundred and fifty, want the bill postponed and let
each member preserve copy to carry home with him;
and if he is before the people years hence, let
him take it around to all the tax-gatheTngs and mus
ter fields in his county, and read it talk 1t over,
aud explain it to the peoples Yes, Sir, let him en-
terrain and express sentiments either In favor or I'm
cordng to the circumstances under which he may be
elected. @1aE1- -
Sir, from the course which has been pursued, it is
manifest that the bill in its present shape does not
suit every one, for amendment after amendment has
been offered and if suffered to live longer the bill
viii be perfect Tsis s1digisd que 1rOLds. With all
