Mr. Thomas said there were some very hard In

the printer that he would soon present bill that
he desired the Senate to have printed, and thought
there was no use in printing this bill unless the gen.

public printer; in that case had no objection.
Mr. Bledsoe said he would withdraw his motion
TO obge the gentleman from Jackson, but would
vndicate himself from the charge Of wishing to &C.
cumulate work for the public printer that the Gov
errors message which had been received ten days
ago, and his resolutions which had been ordered to
be printed six or eight days ago. had not yet come
from the press, and he supposed the printer from
this fact had much work than he could do.
