Mr. HENDERSON. I was stating only a reason for our not adopting this preamble. I have fought avainst it all day. The Senate voted it down deliberately 2 or 3 times. We voted down the proposition to have any preamble at all. The Senfrom Illinois insists that we shall have a preamble and finally gets a small majority in favor of it; and having obtained a small majority in favor of it, without any further reconsideration Senators insist that we must stay here and yet through with the whole question to night. I‘low, I am just as anxious to see Tennessee admitted as any member of this body; but I think we had better reconsider the preamble; or at least we had better wait until Monday morning and consider it. If Senators have made up their minds to stay ten days, it may be all well enough. I would rather not do so; and hence I rise for the purpose of moving an adjournment, and I hope the Senate will consider that this is the proper plan. A great many Senators have left the Hall; a'great many more will leave; it is now 6 o’clock on Saturday evening, and we have had 2 night sessions during the week; and it does seem strange to me that just after the Senate has reversed its well considered views, late in the et'ening, after many Senators have left the body, it is insisted that a vote must be had now. If the Senate acted right in voting down all preambles this morning at an earlier hour, it may possibly be that upon a reconsideration of this matter between now and Monday morning we shall vote down any reamble again. It is but recently that we have come to the conclusion that itwas necessary to have a preamble. I do not think we ought to have one. I would stand up and demonstrate to Senators that there should be I none, and give the very best reasons in the world for that view, because any preamble that on may adopt will leave a false implication before the people that I do not want to be committed to. when you make a preamble, of course you declare, as the Senfrom Illinois said in objecting to the House reamble this morning, that other States shal be admitted upon the same terms. What did he say? He said the House amendment only declares that Tennessee has adopted the constitutional amendment, and therefore we will admit her; and if we do that, he said, we go all over the country declaring that we would admit SCarolina upon the same terms. Now I up cal to the Senator and ask him if there is anyting else in his Own preamble. Do you say that you will not admit SCarolina upon her adoptingthe constitutionalamendment, whether it becomes the law of the land or not? Does not the same implication go out that would from the House amendment?
