Mr Denton than roeod taid: Mr Praaidant, ws ha tome buine to transact, I do not intend to avoid business for a Itring of abstrac tions " Mr Calhoun. The Senator say It cannot take up attraction. I he eonttitution it an abstraction. Propriety is an abstraction. All the great rule of life are abstraction. Tb . Declaration of Independence was mad on an abstraction) 4c when I hear sno declare tbat be is against abrtraet, tuih ia cat of this kiod I v ain prepared to know what discourse will be! J cecuioiy k aupposejl that the fcenalor ; from Missouri, tli representauv of a alaveholding State, would have supported these resolutions. I moved them' in good faith, under a solemn conviction of what waa da to thoe whom I represent; and due the wbola South and the whole Union. I have at littl deair at any Senator lo . ob struct public basine. All I want is a deeie km. and a decision before the three million bill ia decided. ' If the Senator from Missouri wants to-morrow morning very welt. Tb resolution can be taken up on Monday, ' Mr Benton. I will purtu my own cooris when th time come. I know what ar ab atraetioo, and what ar not. I know what business is, and wbat is not. I am for going on with tha business of th session, and I aay I shall not vote for abstractione year ahead, to the exclusion of business. He ay h calculated on my course. H it mis taken.

The resolution were then ordered lo be printed Mr Archer uggeatd tbat Monday b the day named for ibe consideration of these Resolution Mr tjtlhoun said be bad no objection.
