The PRESIDENT The amendment pending is that
Offered by the senator from Virginia, lMr MAsosl az
follows:
.Sgc And be IL further enacted, That il shall be law

portion OF the stock mentioned nsthe rsl pIoyso OF ifs

month month 10 issue the said stock equiv
aIeut like releases a. may be thereafter filed until
the whole Of the five millions OF dollars reserved
by said article Is exhausted
Mr. RUSK do not rise for the purpose OF protract-
ing this debate know that any heightened discussion
would hazard, il not defeat the passage oil the appro
priaton bills.
Al an early period Of this session the question raised
by thai amendment brought to the Of this body
by various petitions from the creditors OF he State OF
Texas. On that occasion expressed a hope that we
should have report IRON The committee IN lew days,
Tor anxious 10 discuss the question, and, IN con-
nexon with that subject, stated that the United States
in equity bound than bali the original debt
due by The Safe OF Texas, in consequence OF the failure
OF this government 10 comply with the stpulaons ot its
solemn treaties. The question comes upon Us now al
time when il is utterly impossible to discuss IT, feel
anxious that il should he discussed for am convinced
that the question is not understood Although much has
been said and written, has nearly all been on one side,
and State has not bad an opportunity OF being heard
For this reason have felt great anxiety to obtain an OPP
poruny TO lay the facts before the Senate and the
try but pressed Tor time, as we are now, shall not at
tempt 10 do No ose, apprehend, IL more desifous
than am that this business should be settled IN such
to do justice TO the creditors oil Texas and TO
do justice 10 her reputation and standing as State OF
this Union. When the question does come up Tor dis
cusson viii redeem the pledge that have made on two
or three occasions that will show conclusvey that
through the neglect OF the United States 10 ia her
treaty spusoH and 10 prevent the Indians from depre
dating the territory OF Texas, more than hall OF
her present debt has been ncured and that the United
States would in equity be held liable for by any court OF
equity or dsinererted arbitrator ~ the world.
have thought that twas right should make these
remarks, but will not protTact them on the present oc
casion | could well ask those who so urgent on
this subject what country under the sun has ever paid
her revolutionary debt in twenty years! But sir pressed
for lime, shall pursue the subject no further
now.
Mr. MASON. offered the amendment. now under
consideration, last evening, at hour when thought
il would be acted II is manifest that il cannot
be acted upon al this session In justice TO the United
States, IL Is only right that should not persist in H.
now withdraw il, moi through any want Of confidence in
the Justice Of the amendment, but merely in consequences
OF the want OF time 10 consider it,
The amendment was accordingly Withdrawn.
