Mr. CONNESS. It appears to me that the case of the Senfrom NewHampshire is a very different one from that of the Senfrom NewJersey, as presented by the honor able Senfrom Indiana. In regard to the case of the Senfrom NewHampshire, it was a postponement inbehalf of the only dissenting member of the ComJudiciary, by whom the question had been considered. The questi. had never been considered in the Senate then, and there was not onlyfitness, but necessity, in permitting the dissenting member of that committee to have an opportunity of resenting his views. Now the question has been fully nrgued. Every phase of the case has been considered and considered again; and the only ground upon which this request for postponement can legitimately he is the last ground upon which it has bee. but by the honorable Senfrom Indiana, that there may be a full vote of the Senate. The vote of the Senfrom NewJersey is certainly not more important than the vote of any other absent Senator; and I ask the Senfrom Indiana whether there can possibly be a full vote of the Senate on Thursday or upon any other day within, perhaps, 2 weeks to come or more? Unfortunately a great misfortune, not only to us, but to the country it is more than probable that another Senator who has been our colleague here will never appear in his seat again. On Thursday the Senate cannot be full, and there cannot be a full vote then. If this question had not been considered again and again, for one I would not oppose its postponement, but considerations other than the merits of this case have really been in truded into the discussion. From its having received the most fair and thorough consideration by the majority of the committee to whom it was referre, it has absolutely been construed to a very considerable extent into a political question. For one I have not allowed to be in the Senate, not for one moment did I myself so to consider it, but from the other think of asking that the consideration of the resolution should be pressed; and I believe no Ii side of the Senate that constructionhas been put upon it and intruded into the discussion, I will not repeat in what way, but in a way certainly objectionable and releasing members of the Senate from further postponement of the matter.
