be delivered upon this scbleci-probsbly will have
iweaiy speeches. Ard II postpone bIl week
for every gentleman who wishes discuss this question:
that viii postpone the final settlement until close
of the session. Now am perfectly convinced that be-
lore this question decided 10 this body. there will be
al leas. twenty speeches delivered upon it, And does
any suppose that Ui these twenty speeches
IS ready 10 be delivered odsyl confident that il
TINS Senate decide 70 keep ihis question before this body
