eal accuracy of The reporters and the accommodating
spirit which they have shown TO myself and other
ators But il does SO happen thacn my hastily
remarks the other day, in explanation of one
points raised by the honorable senator from North Caro-
lima, [Mr, BAD0ER,] was reported enormously. rise
simply for the purpose of correcting OF several
mistakes that occurred which mistakes would proba
bly, have occurred if they had pursued their usual course
and one, think they bound always pursue and
had brought the report TO for revision before its publ
Gallon That has been my uniform requsiton but in
this case 1t has not been complied with as usual

They break down the freedom of the press destroy
freedom of speech. and after while would lead just

eminent OF France. and which have outraged and
wounded the senslbies of :he citizens Of this country
simply state this fact and generally protest against
the whole report the other day. although general ac
cu,sey is confessed by me- and hope that the reporters
will take this admoniory hint, and bring their re.
port before publication hereafter
Although contrary to the usual course TO send the
ports for revision without special request in each in
stance, the above request will be complied wh-REPl
Mr.. BADGER. | should not have brought up this
subject / the senator from Mississippi had mentioned
"a but wish TO say, although do not choose to enter
into any correction, that have noticed good many
lakes in the report OF my remarks few days But
OF course we must expect such things to occur and they
can only be avoided, the senator mentioned, by giving
the senator an opportunity 10 run his eye and
rect the report.
