Mr. TRIBE. We have wooed the gentle
man as delicate ladY-bul The gentleman is de-
lermined not 10 60 any where. Mr. t. trusted,
then, that We should meet The question al once,
and decide upon an adjournment, even should the
gentleman not be willing 10 go with US. Look al
the facts, and say if we are prepared 10 revise The
Code with that searching investigation which II
requires. His constituents would sustain him,
il he would do wha; he thought best 10 promote
the great object for which We had assembled.
Mr.. SLOAN. Is il no, wise that we should
compare this place Che Capitol, fixed by the Con-
situiion as our place OF meeting, with any other
place that might be named for the Adjournment

be raised that The Cholera was too near this o.
that place. He believed that they could not agree
upon any place-and yet We are 10 adjourn on
Monday next, without any place icing named

"Fauquier Springs"
The SPEAKER said il was moi in order
