tbat amendment before the Senator
from Maine proceeded with his remarks
but fniled to have any opportunity to do
81 | intended then 10 say that what
ever opinjon might be entertained on
this side OF the chamber as to the coiu-
petency Of Congress to make the in
| vcstiuations that these resolutions c0u-
! Template. vet We were disposed to
/ waive all struples Of that character and
suffer the resolution 10 pass without
| ounosI,inu if ih. amendment now pro-
pnsed should be- added. The Senator

carefully studiedand prepared, exercised
his right to deliver that speech before any
| amendment could DE olltfeu. 90 not
