Mr. WALKER | cannot deem the reason given by
the senator from Illinois sufficient TO induce the Senate
TO reconsider the vote of yesterday His are
that misapprehenson OF the meaning intention of the
vote will be had. Now, sir, heard all that was said
and said considerable portion myself of what was
spoken and there other feeling expressed by any
one here than of respect towards the Secretary of State
and OF concurrence IN HE sentiment. which he had ex
pressed in the communication which read in our
hearing Now, sir, il would strange, indeed tina,
after the debate upon this subject had been published and
put upon the record of proceedings any should
be so pervese as misconsirue meaning of the Sem
ale in the vote which it then gave.
Now, the views expressed by the senator from Illinois
may be sufficient to prompt him 10 reconsideration,
but they not sufficient 10 prompt me, and do hope
they will not be deemed sufficient to the balance
OF The Senate to reconsideration Sir, repea, what
said yesterday concur IN the sentiments OF the Sec
retary OF State. think never heard anything in my
life that was a more complete and triumphant vndlca-
tion of this country than tina. letter to the Austrian
charge. Still il is but old doctrine well expressed
and why should herald il TO the country in the
form of extra numbers am at a loss to conceive No
friend of the Secretary oil Sate-and, byhe.by, claim
to be OF his warnest ones though politically op
posed bim-can certainly charge this Senate with
want of respect 10 him. These the sentiments
expressed yesterday, and repeat them

things from that paper, and found my views upon the

there assumed than could have given before | heard
