Me--rS. Imboden. Ellys"n aud siaiard briefy
sustained the motion. declaring that further ac
lion on the tax bill should be deferred until the
..oyster fundum'' bill was considered. II the new
subject of taxation WAS to yield the revenue winch
the Governor of the State declared II would, and
the bill to carry out the views os that high ah-
%,totity' should meet with a favorable considera.
ton. then the provisions of her general tax bill
would have to be materially modified.
Mr.. Garneit resisted the motion to lay the tax
bill on the table and earnestly protested against
a tax on the .'oyster fundum." Since the hrst
barge had entered James river. he sud, the
waters of the ocean and the air of Heaven had
been equally free 10 those who chose 10 enjoy
them, and here was n proposition to impose a tax
upon sthat which, had never been regarded as
troperty. MI. G.. continued his objections to
the measure at some length.
Mr.. Srgar approved Of the motion submitted
and read a resolution to extend the session for
one week, which he designed to offer if the motion
was agreed to.
Mr.. Floyd demanded the yeas and nays ON the
question. 9,

In hi. further remarks. Mr.. Douglas said that
Mr.. Truinbull had become the Chief of Black
Repablicanism. -
sIr. Trumbull. ] ask my colleague ie explain!
Mr.. Douglas. Was not the gentleman voted
for by Abolitionists aud know-N othings from
all parts of the State?
Mr.. Trumbull. | tell him no, to his teeth. l
never was a candidate of the Abolition or Know
Nothing party. may have been voted for by
members of The American party with the gentle
man-but, that | was their candidate Is not true.
IHe collouuv was further continued, after
which
Mr.. Sumner replied to the remarks of Mr..
Douglas that the former had obtained a weeks
delay ofthe Nebraska bill in order to circulate
a libel on the latter. He said that was untrue.
He united with other members in sending an ad-
dress to the people of the United States cx-
pressing the true character of that proposition
and predicting the many evils Which have since
ensued.
Mr.. Douglas said that both Mr.. Chase and Mr.,
Sumner. on the occasion referred to, came to bis
sent and asked him 10 postpone the Nebraska
bill one week. in order to give them tim e to ex-
anime it.. He did so but the day after he dis
covered that they had written an exposition of
that measure and scattered it broadcast. 1t was
"a false statement that they had not had time to
examine the bill of which Mr.. Douglas complain
ed. That address attributed to him Il base pur-
pose aud self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and not a proper
sense of public duty. The Senator from Mas
sachnsetts did not consider that .ibelious. Oh
no, This might accord with his ideas of a gem
tleman and Senator.
Mr.. Sumner. | shall enter into no contest
here or elsewhere as to the character of a gen
