A Senator near me says he will not vote for this amendment, unless I
put in the name. It is perfectly well known that it is intended as an
opportunity to appoint Mr. Hunter, and the authorities, I presume, will
take notice. There is no need of inserting his name; and the remark of
the Senator is simply a criticism for an excuse. I hope the Senate will
adopt the amendment without a division.
There was a division, and the amendment was adopted,--Yeas 18,
Nays 17.
