Adjourned.
PERSONAL.
The position of Mr.. GLASGOW with refer
ence 10 the RlDpLEBERGER resolution was
as follows:
Mr.. GLASGOW appealed to the mover OF
the instruction (Mr. RIDDLEBERGED to have
the bin printed, that senator's might nave
opportunity TO inform themselves fully
as to It's provisions. That for one, though
second to no man a. friend OF general
education, from simply once hearing the
bill read by the clerk he could not under
take 10 instruct senators in Congress as 10 It's
merits and their duty in the premises, and
more especially when they had opportunity
10 give careful consideration TO all its pro-
visions; that he was not informed rs TO the
views OF the senators in Congress respect
ing the bill, nor had he reason TO distrust
their fidelity to our people or their intelli-
cent apprehension OF whatever Of merit
there might be i'm the bill; that il vote
must be had right now, he would vote
against the instruction, believing the in
terests OF the people more secure in charge
Of their senators in Congress fully in
formed than in this Assembly uniformed.
