BUFFERS REMEDY INADEQUATE.

BUTLER'S REMEDY INADEQUATE.
While he was in full accord with the
measure proposed b. hardly thought thatt he
remedy met the requirements of the case,
which was one not to be cured by homco-
pathatic treatme t. Stronger remedies
would have to be rosorted to, and much
wealth aid much earnest consideration
would have to be given 10 it. There was,
as yet, not sufticie information on whic
to base intelligent action, and until such
information was obtained, all action on
tie part Of the Senate would BE- premature.
1t was first TO be ascertained whether
any negroes were in favor Of emigration,
and, II SO, what destination they preferred.
linen 1t would have to be seen whether a
suitable location could be found for them,
and some approximate estimate OF the cost
lie left that to wiser heads than his own,
but u til those points were known the Sem
ate would be working in the dark. There
should, certainly, he thought, be
wisd IN enough in the best in
tellecis Of the whites and blacks to
enable the Senate to arrive at a satisfactory
concl sion OF the vexed question.
In conclusion, he said that ne could only
labor in his humble way to bring about
better state Of things. In all that he had
said TODAY, he had been &C uated by q
sincere desire to promote the best interests
of the citizens Of both races and to aid in
securing TO the country the blessings of
prosperity and of perpetual peace under
that moro perfect unlonn OF free states Of
the republic contemplated by the fathers.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Hampton's
speech the bill went over without action,
aud, after a short executive session, the
Senate, at As o'clock, adjourned till
