Senator Woodin (f2ep.) said that he was not pre-
,ared to consider the resolutions at once, and sug
oested waiting for the report of the Congressional
investigating Committee. He moved to lay the
resolutions on the table. When the roll was called
apon the adoption of this motion each Senator, by
adopting the parliamentary device OF request to
be excused from voting, succeeded in wedging in aA
expression of his views
Senator johnson thought the Importance of the
.ubiect matter of the resolutions could not be over
estimated Louisiana exciting the attention OF
svery sister State in the UDion and the people were
aroused and holding public meetings in all parts OF
the country He could not conceive how any mem
Der of the Senate could desire to defer action Every
philantbropist and patriot in the land was alarmed
at the attempt to throttle sister State and eject
her lawmakers. The outrage was so grave and
gross that it was astonishing to find a man any
where that hestates to cry in thunder tone against
II. He voted Nay.
Senator Lord said he had offered the resolution in
good faith supposng that not one member present
would object TO its passage. he, however, had nc
objections having the resolution lad on the table
n order that those opposed to its passage might
have an opportunity to prepare their armor lie
vsted Nay.

Senators by their votes had set the seal Of theiI
disapprobation upon such men as those who
sounted the Senator from the Xth tMr. MaddeD) out
On the day OF the last Senatorial election He voted
Yea.
