Mr. Grissom of Granvillo by permis
sion of the house withdrew his amend
ment, lie thought the subject should
beeonsfdered dispassionately. The spirit
(f the discussion last night was to be re-o-iettcd.
He 'endeavored to show then
and believed now that there is no incon
sistcnev between the views of the .ad
ministration upon this subject hereafter,
as indicated by letters from our Shite
n-rcnt-in Washington and now. It was
advised that there should' be no agitation
of this subject but there has been agi
tation an able and protracted debate
had sprung up and had gone to the
country ami ex-cited great interest. This
may account for the change in opinion

words it had been done, and then have
telegraphed "well done thou good and

ThaukGod, he was yet a freetlian, and
