Mr. ORR. am anxious to- bring the House direct

extremely to extend TO the gentleman the
opportunity Of replying to the objections transmitted in
the message But it to from the condition
of the public business that IT would not be proper to post

termine that shall direct Those Of
who are inclined sustain the veto are far can
learn perfectly willing to dispose of this question

AS to the review of the message, that is not

Mr. CAMPBELL opposed to direct upon the
passage Of the BILL under the provisions Of the constitution
without being allowed to reply to what he considered to
be the msy and unsubsantal arguments Of the President
If the civil and diplomatic appropriation bill should be
lost il would not be the fault Of the House. but it would
be the fault of the President BY throwing obstacles in the
