4 The PRESIDENT. The Chair will take oc-
casion to any to the Senate that he will put a
stop to any further discussion not relevant To
the question.
Mr. fOOTE. wish the Chair had inter-
posed earlier and saved the necessity Of my
indicating myself
The PRESIDENT. The resolution is un-
der consideration, and not the subject-matter OF
any address or newspaper article; and the Chair
will be under the necessity of combining the
senator from New Hampshire strictly to the
resolution. The course OF remark commenced
by the senator from New Hampshire was hardly
relevant, and the senator from Mississippi has
pursued it until the debate has become sltogeth
or out of order.
Mr. HALE. Well, sir, am used TO be held
pretty strictly up to the rules, SO that it will be
nothing new to me.
The PRESIDENT. The Chair will remind
the senator that, according to the strict rules
ne would have been obliged to stop the read
ing in the first instance.
Mr. HALE, Yes, sir; understood the Chair

ton the senator would make of it, and that was
the reason why he did not stop the reading
But suppose, as there has been personal al
fusion made to myself may be at liberty at
least to answer that The honorable senator
from Mississippi, in the few remarks he has made
| to the Senate-and do not speak in fguraive
sense, for they We're few--not only made a re-
mark, but most significant gesture with his
forehnger over this way-which the Chair could
not take notice of otficially-when he spoke Of
certain gentleman that hoped to obtain political
eminence by agitation. The honorable senator
went on TO say that nop-he spoke in the resent
tense, Sir, ana SAID nothing about the past--ro,c
ne was decidedly opposed to anything OF the
sort but nc was for holding strictly to this new

Mr.. FOOTE. | wish to make a single re.
mark, as the yeas and nays have been called
for. shall vote for the resolution as resoln-
ton OF inquiry, not merely because wish the
subject investigated in AL its bearings, but be-
cause the gentleman who introduced the resolu
tlon certainly would not wish to direct the at
tention OF committee of this body to subject
wholly unlmportant. ] am anxious that the
investigation should be made; and therefore
vote Tor the resolution without committing N.Y.
self upon the merits OF the proposition in any
shape.
Mr. DAVIS, of Massachusetts, do not pro-
pose to go into this subject; but will make a
remark or two, inasmuch as the yeas and nays
nave been ordered upon it. had thought my
sell long since of bringing to the attention OF
the Senate this identical point. We made a
