Is senator upon this floor who would concede il more
readily than would. and there is senator to whom
would concede II more readily But, MIR President this
is question that will give rise TO great deal of dis.
which connects itself with great system in which
this country - deeply interested, and in which has
been engaged; and therefore, when il is presented
for the consideration Of the Senate it will necessarily
involve us in good deal Of discussion and il will
cupy very considerable OF the time OF the Sem
ate am generally opposed 10 leaving The regular order
oi the calendar and taking up other bills when they re-
qure no discussion sometimes yield, but cannot vote
Tor this because it not only violates that rule, but IL
will introduce subject which must necessarily occupya
great deal of lime aud great deal OF discussion
