Mr. HENDERSON. The Senfrom Indiana thinks that this matter ought to be considered immediately because, he says, a month ago the Senate considered the measure and rejected it, but afterward adopted the measure and sent it to the President who has vetoed it, and now a proper, courtesy on our part requires that we should consider it immediately. I do not know but that the suggestion of the Senfrom Ohio ought to be listened to from another consideration besides that which he has given. It seems that colorado has had a very hard time of We passed an enabling act, 2 years ago, saying to the people of Coloradopthat if they desired a State government, they might vote upon the proposition, adopt aState government, and we would receive them. At the 1st vote after the enabling act was passed, Colorado rejected the proposition. Upon a reconsideration of the question, however, the people of that Territory adopted the proposition, and now send us a State constitution, and ask for admission. The President took the matter into consideration, because it suited him, or directly in accordance with the provisions of the enabling act itself, I believe, the President was authorized by a proclamation to admit the State; but instead of doing so, he sent the proposition for admission to us, and said, “ I leave this matter to Congress.” Congress took it into consideration. It is true that the Senate, upon the 1st vote, like the people of colorado, rejected the proposition, and left the State out. The President said to us that he was willing to leave it to us, and whatever we might do on the subject, I understood, he was perfectly willingto give his sanction to. However, the Senate, after 1st rejecting it, reconsidered the proposition and then adopted it, and said to the people of Coloradqthat they could be admitted). [his shows a change, not only on the part of the people of that Territory, but a change, after reconsideration, on the part of Congress. Now, sir, let us give a little time to the POTUS I am satisfied, upon all the precedents and all the history of Colorado, that if he has a short time, he will send us, in the course of a few days, a messa e withdrawing his veto message. Let him have the same time that the people of Colorado had to consider the proposition, and the same time the Senate had to reconsider it, and in all proba bility he will come to as correct a conclusion as the people of Colorado and the Senate of the U.S.
