Mr.. Evans offered a resolution fixing the lOgh
day OF February foT the adjournment OF the Legis-
atnre sine die: uHteT The rules laid upon The Ia
BILE for one day.

Gen. Taylor 10 the csptal.
Mr.. Williams moved 10 take up the resolution
fixing day for the election of United States Sena.
Mr.. Williams in some forcible remarks uIgeu
the necessity Of an election al sn early day
Dir. Hobbs was much in favor of short SEES
sion as the gentleman who had just sat down,
and his apprehensions of dispersion by disease
were much the same as his; but he was not pre-
pared 10 go into an election OF u. =. Senator. He
had not made up his mind for whom he should
vote; and 80 far "a he had learned, by CONVERSE
ton, there were very few OF the Senators who had
Besides, he comd see nothing TO be lost BY delay;
on the contrary by time for consultation and con-
sideration much might be gained BY harmony OF
action.
Mr.. Bruce said that as the Senator from Bour.
bon (Nr. Willisms,) had asked what reason there
was for delay, he would give reason which was
satisfactory TO himself aud he doubted not would
be 10 a majority of the Senate. He took il for
granted that a Wing would be elected; and he had
come expecting 10 find entire harmony upon this
subject But he had been disappointed. He had
found great diversity OF opinion and feeling; and
TO produce harmony upon this subject the
paramount reason with him for not acting, al this
lime, upon the resolution.
He therefore thought that delay would probably
avoid the very difficulties which the gentleman
feared from pT0cTastnation. He had no conceal
ment OF his own preference. He stood here the
friend OF Henry Clay, and he came here ia full
hope that they would all agree 10 send again 10 the
Senate of the u. ). the man who had given a lus-
ire 10 the fame of Kentucky; and he yet hoped
that when time should be given for reflection and
information, they wonld all unanimously Join in
his election.
Mr. Evans urged the necessity of an early elec-
ton. The yeas and nays being called upon the
motion 10 20 takeuP, II was cSuitd By ayes Is,
n8ys Il.
Various times for the election were proposed by
different members.
Mr.. J. Speed Smith was in favor OF the let Of
February
Mr.. Williams was in favor Of the earliest day,
the 18th OF January. He desired a short session,
and he spoke from some experience when he said
that if the election set for late day the ses-
sion would De prolonged The people expected

gislalITe 10 make a short session, and he for one

Mr.. Rice saw no necessity for an early cleo
ton.
Mr.. Wall could not understand whyi the cleo.
ton should be deferred. He was for prompt &C
lion.
Mr. Grey thought there should be no PreeiPits
ton in the matter.
Mr.. Boyd was in favor OF January 10Th.
Ms. Barbour came here TO discharge his duty,
and was not 10 be Influenced by over anxiety for q
short session or dread of a long one. A new parry
was inst going into power in the nation and II was
important that Kentucky should send a Senator TO
Congress who would yield the new administration a
cordial support; not one who would 90 there TO rule
or ruin. There were many fit men for the station.
The difficulty was in making choice. He was in
favor of taking time TO deliberate and consut and
