last evening, at the moment my attention
was engaged upon another matter, and up.
on the calling of hay naac, inadvertently
answered faye"
have taken no part in tho discussion Of
this bill not being at all interested In tho
result, but after listening attcntiycly to all
that has so clo1ucnlly been urged by its
friends in its favor, confess am unable
to see the great advantages Of i,s passage
and think eau perceive that il may wotk
evil. therefore had intended 10 vote
against il, and arose To correc, my uisi.lc,
but net attracting the attention Of tho chair.
and percciying that the bill was hbou, 70
pass by very decided map VI ilonrls,
changing my vote could not possibly AFFECT
the result, that would say uVlling aIout il.
But as | do not wish to b. lBisun,srstou,,
with the con,cul Of tbe llure, would
like To have my vote rccorled IN ppP slion
