that it had on various occasions declined
to go into. Yesterday, the gentleman from
Beaufort, (Mr. Stilley,) had in his argu-
ment several times said in order to whip
gentlemen into this SIS, 900 measure, that
many of them ought to recoilect that they
owed their seats on this floor to Governor
Holdens influence. he wished the people
to know what influences were at work to
increase their taxes and how their Repre-
sentatives disregard their interest under
the pressure of an outside influence. He
had thought they owed their seats to mer-
it, rather than to any mans influence, &c.
Mr.. Estes moved to amend the amend
ment by giving the Governor salary OF
81, 600 and 81, 900 as rent of his house.
