Mr.. KELLOGG. when his name was
called, asked and obtained leave to explain
his vote. He said that having on an early
day of last session introduced the resolution
under consideration, and having labored
earnestly from that time to the present to
procure the adoption of the resolution
without amendment, or qualification, so
that the question of manhood suffrage, un-
incumbered by collateral propositions,
might be submitted to the people, and now
entertaining the views expressed by him
self on former occasion. severely criti-
cising the last two provisions contained in
the House amendment, to which the Senate
disagreed. and while his own judgment
dictates another course, yet, yielding his
own opinions to what may be, and proba-
bly, is, the better judgment of his associates
of the Union party in this and the other
House, and being unwilling to subject him
self to the imputation of being factious and
stubbornly adhering to his own opinions
against the unanimous judgment of his fell
lew-membeFs,g he was constrained to vote
Mr.. TIBBALS also obtained leave to
state his reasons for his vote, and gave SUBJ
stantially the same as those of Mr.. Kellogg,
so far as relates to his desire to have the
naked question of manhood suffrage sub
mitted, unincumbered by other questions;
but as the action of the other branch of the
General Assembly left him no other alter
native to have the resolution as amended or
nothing, he felt construed to vote AYE p"
on the present question.
So the resolution, as amended, was
adopted.
