NETWORK LEGISLATURES.
SENATE. ALBANY, March II, 1852
MOVEMENT FOR An EXECUTIVE SESSION. LONG AND
SPIRITED DEBATE-wHIGs EoN-PLussED, AND
NOTHING DONE.
Before the journal was read Mr.. TABOR
moved that the Senate resume its executive bust
ness upon the ground that we are In executive SEES
sion, as the journal will show.
The CHAIR differed from the views of
Mr. 7. The executive session was the special order
for certain day. When the Senate adjourns on that
day, whether In or out Of tho executive session,
that order has passed.
Mr.. BABCoCK moved that the doors be
closed In obedience to the twenty. ninth rule.
The CHAIR said he had decided that the
motion of the Senator from the Eleventh (Mr. IT,
was out OF order, and 1t now became his duty-a
motion TO close the doors having been msde-to or
der the closing Of the doors.
MIR. TABOR hoped the Senator from the
Thirty-f-st tMr. Babcock) would Withdraw his mo-
ton out OF respect to the character Of the Senate
and hoped that 70 such thing would occur here
again as did yesterday. lie appealed from the de-
cision OF the Chair
Mr.. COOLEY hoped we should have no
more Of this contemplate strife. He hoped the mo-
ton would not prevail and desired that the Senate
would remain one day with doors open, until they
could get COOL He feared, II we went into execn.
scene here similar 10 that of yesterday.
After debate by Mr.. BRIsroL and others,
Mr.. TABOR said there was one sentiment expressed
IN which he cOncuIrsd, and that was, that should
consult cur reason In matter relating so nearly to
the reputation OF the State of New York and this
Senate and to that very end, after all the efforts
fer peace which Ianspired here, last evening, he
had made motion TO give an opportunity for that
party which had so violated all principles Of pro-
piiety and justice, 10 repair this breach He was
sorry TO say tina. he fel 10 his Utmost soul that the
Senate Of this State yesterday received the first dis
grace it ever had.
Mr.. CONGER rose to a point of order.
The Senator out of order in referring the pro-
ceeoings OF the executive session.
Mr.. TABOR said there was no rule making
what he said out Of order. lie read the rule which
pertained to the matter Of executive session. They
were bound to keep secret all matters whereof se-
cTesy should be eDjoined, and all remarks concern
ing character of nominees. He was talking OF
neither.
The debate was continued by Messrs.
C0nger, Van Schoonhoven, and others.
Mr.. TABOR again rose, and said he de-
sired Cancellation but there was an indispensable
requisiton-if a man had robbed him Of anything by
violence, and then proposed to concilass the frst
thing he would do would be TO tell him to give that
back. He did not understand the New Testament to
teach him to uphold wrong doing. Now, all no had
10 say 10 the M was, give US back what you have
wrongfully taken from u.s. Give US the executive
session. In which every Senator here knows We are,
and then we will be ON good terms with you. He said
that the difficulties OF yesterday arose In conse-
quence OF Democrats finding themselves In the OK
ecuti,e session In minority, and Senator Pierce,
acting as President pro fem abruptly adjourned the
Senate.
Mr.. CORNELL asked why il was, if we
were in continued session, that we had clergyman
10 pray for us this morning
Mr.. TABoR-lt was a pity we had not
had one yesterday afternoon.
The CHAIR-The hour Of II o'clock
having arrived the hour for the special order has ar
lived.
MIR. VAN SCHooNHOvEN-We are in ex-
scutiye session, and hence I must appeal, IL the
Chair 20 holds.
Mr.. BABcocK said this matter involved
he honor and character of the Senate, and he for
one should no. feel justified In taking any matter
Importance than anything else we could do. He had
made his motion TO close the doors only because he
.eemed that It would be better fer the honor of the
senate 70 DO 80. He made it as conciliatory move
%; It being repealed By those for whom he intended
I, he Withdrew 1t.
Messrs. BRIsToL, BABcocK, and others,
onsinued the debate.
MIR. CORNELL afterward took the floor,
md, in closing his remarks, said-When we ad.
oUrnsd yesterday
Mr.. VAN ScHooNHovEN-(int errupting Mr..
; l-There was no adjournment.
Mr.. CoRsELL-HOw did we get together
his morning
MIR. MORGAN, who was in the chair,
was an alleged adjournment.
MIR. CORNELL deemed there was an adj
ourDmens regularly, and that was TO be inferred
rem our coming together here as usual He hoped
senators would not allow personal feelings 10 con-
roll parliamentary rule, which had stood long.
