Mr. LORD OF Saco, offered the following
Ordered, That one thousand copies of the
Governors Address be printed for the use of
the House.
Mr.. Lord il presenting the above, said that
he thought one thousand copies fully ade
quate to the wants Of the House, as the mes
sage would be widely read before the copies
contemplated in the order could be prepared.
1t was for this reason that he placed the mum
Der a. one thousand.
Mr.. CARynL of Brunswick, moved to
amend the order by striking out zone thou
sand" and inserting "tour thousand" The
expense of the additional copies would be but
tr.fing after the Address was in type. He
hoped the amendment would be adopted.
H. r ,l1 Ia,
amendment. He thought 1000 copies was a
larger number than usually called for, and
certainly was too many. He declared him
self as much in favor of the publication of the
Address as any man, for ii was excellent in
many OF its features, and he was well pleased
with it. He desired that the people through
out the State should have it to read, and as
usual, the daily papers had been quick to
publish it, Probably nearly every republican
! and democrat in the State to-day has a paper
containing the Address. The expense of the
extra copies would be small, TO be sure, but
it was well enough to retrench as much as
possible, and for this reason, he hoped the
amendment would not prevail
The amendment was rejected, and the or
der was then passed.
