MIR. IoomJS also advocated the dissolution. He
deemed it necessary that the appropriations should
be bj,ct.d to greater scrutiny than was the
case under the present plan. lie had known naval
appropriation bill, involving eight millions OF dol
lars, to be passed by the S,iatc without being
rcri because there time to read it in u, d.
to set it passed before the close of the session.
NJ Sumner followed, expressing views similar to
those oil Mr.. Seward.
Mr.. Truc,y maintained that the Two classes Of
appropriations were entirely different. One class,
which the Senate could not ORR mate, brought
ey INTO the treasury, where it was locked up; the
other class, which the S,lat was not prohibited
ury 'or the usvs Of the government. He repudatcd
ali compromises which were not to be found IN the
Constitution itself.
Mr. Wilson, Of Massachusetts,, spoke against the
Resolution, and i'll the course of his remarks dis
closed the real purpose of he abotio.is;S That
purpose is to originate the appropriation bills in
the Housc-pass tne:n with obnoxious abolition
