Mr.. Foster of East Machias, introduced a
resolve to postpone the operation of resolve re-
iating to the collection of debts due the Land

| On motion the resolve was laid on the table,
and tomorrow assigned
| WEDNESDAY, Mar 10.
| Mr. Barnes stated that he rose for the pur-
pose of offering and moving an address TO the
Governor for the removal of Woodbury. Davis,
one of the Justices of the Supreme Judicial
| Court.
| Inasmuch as the constitution directly inter-
diets the passage of any such address, until af-
ter certain previous proceedings have been had
and notice given. Mr.. B. supposed the Senate
would deem it proper not TO take any action
whatever on the address itself, nor TO enter
tain any motion respecting it, other than to lay
it on the table. unit! such previous steps have
been taken. With view to that course, and
| in order TO provide as soon may be for en-
tering on the journal the causes Of removal, as
the constitution requires, he had prepared GER
tain resolutions, which declare the causes, in
terms identical with the address, and which
also provide for the requisite notice to the per-
son in office.
If the Senate should see fit TO pass these
resolutions, the matter would then seem to be
properly initiated and it was certainly desir-
able, if the case gone into at all, that no
time should be lost
