Mr. DAVIDSON remarked, in explanation Of his
vote, that he was opposed TO fixing any particular
day for adjournment, for the reason that We could
not tell precisely how long it would take to pass the
Code Of laws. He was unwilling TO adjourn until
that Code was completed he believed that every
member Of the General Assembly was anxious to
bring the session 70 close; bat, having commenced
8 revision of the laws Of the State, and having
progressed thus far he held that the Code ought TO
be completed-being matter in regard to which
the people felt interest than s1y subject before
the Assembly. Mr. d further argued, that more
time had been consumed in the discussion Of resO
utOns for adjournment than would be necessary to |
finish the Code He considered that every Assem-
bly, had, ought 20 have, sense enough to adjourn
when it had finished such business it considered
necessary for the benefit Of the people, without
iEing positive dsy for adjournment twenty days
in dvauce.
Mr. D further argued, that the passage Of reso /
luton fixing the time for adjournment, would be an
lct Of injustice to those gentlemen Who had bills on
he Cslendar-Who had extended to others the prvi |
eye Of taking up their bills out Of order, and had
lot troubled the House with similar propositions
FOR the stated, we'll as for other reasons,
ir D. felt constrained to vote no. ,
