The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of the
following resolution:

by the professor at the head of that institution The OBJ
lect to distribute this information amongst scientific
and learned men, and they will do it much eff
GENTLY and ludIciOusy than the senators can There
will be still thousand left for the OF the Senate
MIR, HALE. Mr. President. have been one OF those
who have uniformly opposed The printing OF these re
ports i there is any apology for the printing OF them

do not know what authority or what right the Senate
have 10 PRINT two thousand books for Mr. Espy any
than they have for any other individual They are

presumption is that the Senate wanted themtha il was
necessary for the use OF the Senate 10 print Them II
did not want them doing what we ought not to

Mr.. BERRlEN. Upon the question of printing the
Senate have already decided by resolution to print the
number OF copies They have decided therefore, upon
The importance OF the book. The printing was or
dered Tor the purpose OF distribution The question which
presented by the resolution OF the senator from North

o. me senate IN directing this publication will not be most
emciently effected by placing number of these COPIES
