If this measure be further insisted on want the
gentlemen on the oil her side to understand that we
are here in the last days the session. and that this
measure is sought to be projected on an appropria

sohdly to suspend the rules and pass the deficiency

I Mr.. Frye argued against the amendment and de-
clared its object for effect not in the South, but
in the State of New YorK; in the South (notwth-
