Matloclz, Clark, Lowe, Young, Mordecai,
Carver and Robertson all spoke in favor

gentlemen all deplored the necessity of
going counter to the opinion of the Gov
ernor, but as his feeling was strongly eX-
pressed in favor of assisting the old
pioneer and patriot, and, as it could not
be done, except by this action, they
frankly advocated voting for the bill.
MIR. Cunningham, believing that the
Governors objection to the bill was
constitutional one. felt that he could not
violate his oath. but was willing to con-
tribute his share toward donation of the
sum.
Mr.. Robertson said Colonel Stevenson
did not want charity, and no gentleman
need do violence to his oath in voting for
the bill. This was a just claim for an eX-
penditure by Colonel Stevenson, from
which California had been deriving bene-
fit ever since the organization of the
State.
Mr.. Fowler and Mr.. Bert felt sympa-
thy for Colonel Stevenson, but could not
