MVB Senate remarks on the colonial trade bill, 28 February 1827
IN SENATE.
Wednesday, February 28, 1827.
On this motion, debate ensued, between Messrs. JOHNSTON of Louisiana, TAZEWELL, MACON, HOLMES, BERRIEN, SMITH of Maryland, SILSBEE, and WOODBURY, when Mr. BENTON observed, that, unless he saw some probability that the Senate would act effectually upon this bill—as it was too late to continue the discussion on it—he should move to lay it on the table.
Mr. VAN BUREN moved to divide the question on striking out and inserting, which was agreed to.
