II T. Mr., Campbell inquired the object OF the
sOluton. Whether to examine the dis
lrsements of the Board OF Registration or
their actions generally. II the former, ne
g las in favor of it, he would ask division
EN subject. The proposition to investigate
be conduct of the Board opened wide
eld; he doubted whether it was expedient
r the Senate to make it. II the object was
find whether the Beard had expended
Oney properly or improperly, well. But II
is 10 investigate their conduct IN partl-
m sense. or their conduct toward General
.EA BUCHANAN. that is different question, ana
AOuld be considered separately.

NER vide came too late and he did not think
sSS admitted Of a division at all; the object oil
;, "a e resolution is sufficiently explained on
: face TO make it unnecessary To enter INTO
explanation. The Board OF Registration
staa aye been doing great many Things,
sDon what authority they are based. They
~ lye also been spending good ceal OF
/ money and we would ike TO see Tor WhaI
nd how much has been SO expended
