On the motion Of Mr.. Virgins to make the Es ,s
nue. Bill the special order for Friday at y Ocos'
and from day to day till completed: ),
Mr.. Pool said, that other matters were Pena
ing before the Senate of quite as much importane
as the Revenue Bill and SO far as speedy aeloT
to he considered, of vastly more importance ~. =.
people look to this Legislature to keep VlSn. ~.
eye upon their Ii berries and to pass certain measu
OF vital importance to their well being and pfosp.,
ty. de could not look with any favor upon ps
position to crowd out all measures and all olS'at

the Revenue Bill is not passed till February. n,
thing demanded hurry. 1t had not been usuA IN
adjourn the Legislature before Christmas, even III.
quiet and ordinary times and it was neither r p
tic, nor compatible with the duty and dls'ny :,ss
Senators to attempt to dispose Of one blu! oss Al
they must pass it, as preparatory to asnos"S e,
other measures and adjourning this BODY: ..,,i
ought to be deliberate and self balanced-to ass,
all this furry and Impotence. 1t looked as wv
We had lost that calmness and GOODNESS OF pS'o i.
which the state Of the country ought fsshss III,
crease than diminish. We ought to pressn,, ',hs.
people the example Of determined and quiet % no.

consequences. A general depression Of 's'I me

Another reason fer postponing tie d!scuSs'U Osua
the Revenue Bill arises from the proposo'''; Et
ing to break up to some extent at least line INn
establishment of the State. If this was oo"''
would diminish the amount of revenue 70 DC annj
from three to five millions of dollars. HOW ' 'S
We vote upon the Revenue Bill, until THIS qu SsS Of
is settedi 1t is the first matter to be dispO ,oo
land ought to be preliminary to the consioefa"t,e
q bill to raise revenue. There are other M We M
before this body, besides taking money n r"nd |,
people. He could not believe that Senators sou
low their private interest or convenience TO tbei
with the weighty duties which they owe '; ~ ID
country. There could be no objection 10 u'N"''
