Mr.. BENNETT and addressed the House in SUBJ
stance follows:
Mr. Speaker will ask the indulgence Of the House only
for few moments did desire discuss fully the merits
of the bill under consideration and should have ndeavored
do had been fortunate to obtain the floor at
earlier hour But wearied know the House must be- and
anxious it is for the question: cannot be guilty of the
ungracious of boring with another long speech Nor
do beeveta unnecessary haI shoudd The ground
which thought necessary travel has already been
ably occupied by gentlemen who have preceded in this
debate that feel should be able add but little
force the powerful arguments urged by them against the
passage of this b and indications TO be mistaken ad
monsh me of the fui,y of further opposition re-
gard the passage of this bill fixed fact The decree has
gone FORTH and objection however strong and clear
be ITSELF however powerfully may be urged in
my opinion have the least effect in changing the result of the
vote about be taken Still should be wanting in
serespect and guilty of derecon of duty TO those whom
have the honor represent did raise my voice in
emn and emphatic proestaon against this antirepubcan
and odious measure.
