hope that it would be adopted at once.

modify the resolution to include the addresses de-
livered in the House of Representatives
Mr.. MANGUM. will do so, sir, with great
pleasure. Will the Secretary please to make the
amendment.
MIR. CHASE suggested that inasmuch as the
resolution contemplated the publication of the pro-
ceedings of the House of Representatives as well
as those Of the Senate it would be better to put il
IN the form of a joint resolution.
Mr.. MANGUM said he presumed the resolu-
ton would not be Objectionable to the House in
Its present form, as it was rather complimentary
to that body and as the modification suggested
by the honorable Senator from Ohio, might en-
barrass it, he hoped it would not be made.
Mr. CHASE was of opinion that it would give
greater ishity and solemnity to the proceeding
TO make 1t joint resolution, but he would not in
sist upon the suggestion.
Mr.. ADAMS intimated that the resolution
might be adopted in its present form and each
body could order the number Of copies which thew
respectively desired.
