the fins, business in order was the petition from
Maryland and Delaware, asking for peaceab!e
dissolution Of the Union.
Mr. Hale spoke in favor Of the right Of petition,
ard declared, that the Senate was bound to re-
ceye every petition-no matter what was IFS
character. Congress should express its disappro-
baton by its subsequent action.
He had no objection to any action the Senate
took on this or any similar petition. Mr.. Day
ton acknowledged the right Of petition, but would
vote against this, because it was disrespectiul in
its nature.
