THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Mr. BERRlEN The peculiar position of the State
one of whose representatives am makes me feel II my
duty to state briefly as | can the views which have
been suggested not much by the Of the Pres
dent of the United States by the range which this dis
cussion has taken; and | presume At this late hour
twenty minutes past four o'clock shall best consult
the wishes OF the Senate by moving that we do ac
MI GWIN. hope the senator will withdraw tina,
motion, 10 enable me 10 introduce bill to go a
milLee which will meet Monday morning.
The PRESIDENT. The CHAIR will remind the
tor that the question under consideration is yet undis
posed Of
MIR. BERRIEN Can we not by universe! consen, lay
il aside moment TO enable The senator from California
TO introduce his bill
The PRESIDENT. II can be done by unanimous con.
sent. The Chair will throw no obstacle in the way.
MIR. RUSK | hope that it will meet the concurrence
OF postpone this question until Monday and
make i, the special order for two O'Clock that day.
Mr.. BERRlEN will suggest 10 the senator from
Texas that there agreal anxiety that this matter should
be boug 10 close II proposes reference to the Ju
dietary Committee. 1t is important that committee should
consider IT. II be made the special order OF the day.
will be superseded by all other special orders; but if II be
passed informally, 1t will be the unfinished business
on Monday, and will come up first
Mr. RUSK. That is the very difficulty wished TO OBJ
vate Tor wished TO afford an opportunity get through
the morning business
Mr. BERRIEN beg to reerate the idea of the SEN
alor from Kentucky, that there is no question OF oe inn
porlance than the question whether The laws Of the land
upon this subject which has agitaed the whole
try shall be executed pray, then that may be al
lowed to pursue such course as will bring this subject
to a close
Mr.. RUSK agree that this is matter OF Importance
and think that If II be postponed to two O'Clock
Monday, we shall come 10 conclusion upon il sooner
than by adjournment Rather than TO have it come up
in the morning the exclusion of the morning BUSINESS
and thea 10 take the entire day, am willing TO sill here
until ten o'clock to night If II is not postponed, hope
the Senate will not adjourn until is determined.
Mr.. CLAY have reason to think that we cannot gel
through with this question to-day. II there be
general concurrence that u shall be taken up al two
O'Clock on Monday whatever may be state of business
that time, with the oil my friend from Geor-
ga VIII accede 10 the arrangement
Mi BERRIEN | will say with great Cheerful ness
that II there be such understanding - suggested by
the senator from Kentucky, will cbeeHuy assent 10
postpone this question until Monday and make ii the
special order OF the day for two O'Clock.
Mt CLAY. And will then move that when the
Senate meets, 1t shall meet at II o'clock
Mr. DAVIS, of Mississippi | should be quite willing
10 agree with the from Georgia postpone this
question: when the re is else that wishes speak
tut himself hut there seem TO be many presen, who
would be glad 10 20 with the discussion think we
had better get through all that to-day and reduce
the debate reserved Tor Monday much possible.
Mr. BERRlEN. ! stated 10 the Senate that supposed
should best consult the wishes OF the Senate by moving
an adjournment II that is not so, ] am willing that the
Senate should take any other coutse-eher by going into
executive session, or 10 any other mode the Senate
please. But believe the mode suggested by the sena.
tor from kentucky is the which will tend to bring
This matter most speedily to a close
Mr.. CHASE. hope that the motion will not prevail
unless the senator from Georgia desires for his own per
sonal accommodation, that the posponemen shall take
place. We have but eight days more OF the session and
seems TO that bad better dispose of this matter
at this time, and SIT here until we have done it,
The question being taken upon the motion 10 postpone,
II was agreed to-ayes p, noes not counted.
