Mr.. Ball had no desire TO discuss the
question, bat he supposed the gentle
men living in the Immediate vicinity
of Dallas, and those who lived near
Tyler felt II deeper aud more abiding
interest in the question than he or any
senator did, who lived remotely dis
tant from these rival contestants Tor
the location of the Supreme court Of
Texas.
The motions that he had heretofore
made upon this question would show
to senator's that he had thrown no OBJ

cussi0n Of the question. lie did not
wish to stitle the views OF any senator
on the subject. On thecontrary, ii was
with the view of atlording an Opportu-
nifty to the friends of Tyler that he
made his motion that morning that
they 70 into committee of the Whole.
Neither had he any idea that the
friends of Tyler wished in any way to
shrink from fair, calm and dispas-
sionate discussion of the merits of diff
ferent places--but strange to say, that
no sooner had he made his notion
than it was opposed by the gentleman
from Tyler, for certainly in that mo-
ton there was everything favorable to
the interest of the friends of Tyler.
After Withdrawing his motion, sup
posing the senate did not desire To
discuss the question, the question came
up, upon the adoption of the amend
ment $50 strike out Dallas" when he
| had moved to lay the motion Oh the
| table, believing that no member de-
sired the removal. But he was now
glad the friends of Tyler and the

onnortunitv of fnirlv discuss;nw the
matter. and ~ The auesliop nppenrcd
