Mr.. Hunter stated that it would be desirable
for the Senate TO act on the question az once,
and the Senator from Tennessee could base his
remarks on Mr.. Griltenden's hill. The reason
why he wanted 10 iakesa voIe .elmediately was
in order that the House might know what the

In the House, but if a vote was taken the House

WAS satisfied they would remain and preserve

that the imprudencc OF Judge Terry had beer
