Upon these two days, the 18th and 10Th OF
February, the question was made between the
&C consideration of the homestead bill and the
consideration of the appropriation bills, the
necessity of passing which last bills did not
fail to be insisted upon by the Democratic
maHsyors Alta Subsequent stage of the ses-
sion, as ~itl be presently seen, the question was
rraAc fsat~eeH considering the hemestead bill
s4na considering the Cuba BILL.
Upon the 25th DAY of February, upon the
occasion Of a motion by Mr.. Slidell to post
pouer all prior orders and take up the bill for
the purchase of Cuba, Mr.. Doolittle resisted it.
and called upon the friends of homesteads to
wsts it, down, so that he himself might submit
ia motion to take nF the heaesteaa sifL Mr..
Doolittle said
Il think it would be better TO take mp this
= question Of fhc AsEaeStead bill and vote Hpon
= .~.it;e&Ettaen the Cuba bill will come up. I
I ask the friends Of the homestead bill now to
: stand by it and give it the preference. We
( do not seek to antagonize it as against the APP
preparation bills 1T this hour of the session.
! We csgld Rot expect, er hope, of the frdeRds
staf this homestead bill, who act with the ma
4 6ority of the Senate, that they would prefer
( taking Hp the homestead bill, and come ia an
tagenisw with the appropriation bills, because
they are necessary but It's between this prop
~osition to take ws the Cuba bill and the
proposition to take up the homestead bill, I
call pJsoa all friends Of the homestead bill on
this and the eSkor side of of the Chamber to
stand by if. Now is the time, or never.

The Cuba bill was now up, and the discus
sion upon it protracted the session late into the
night, nd almost into the next morning. L
was distinctly seen during the progress of thu
discussion that it would be without practica
result, and that no vote could be reached be
fore the final adjournment of Congress.
Accordingly. at ten o'clock in the evening
Mr.. DooIittle felt it to be his duty to renew
the attempt to set aside the Cuba bill, the sub
~ject-matter of IA manilestly idle debate, so as t
take mp the homestead bill. His motion t.
that effect. and tie commencement of the de
bate upon it, will be FUND on page 1851 o
the Congressional Globe. Such extracts ar
made as will exhibit its general character
