Mr. Leslie opposed the passago of the resolution, alleging that measures of gravo importance to tho Stnto-bills in? volving large appropriations of the public moneys-will occupy the attention of tho Senato in a fow days, and to put a gag upon a man at this time is unwise, unjust und detrimental to the interests of tho State; and I, for ono, if I am driven from speaking in tho Senate, will address the populuco upon tho streets or any whore I can to show up what I bolieve to be fraudulent and corrupt legisla? tion. Mr. Corbin thought that tho large number of bills upon the calendar aud thc short space of timo lo adjourn? ment justified the curtailment of de? bate. Mr. lioslio then proposed to vote for thc resolution if it wus agreed that it should refer only to bills now upon the calendar, und not to any new bminets that may bo introduced, aud offered his conditions ns an amendment, und usked that it bo accepted, which was refused. So, then, said Leslie, your pretense of I finishing up the calendar is nil bosh. I ? nudei'stutid tho business. Thr.ro are to be in n fow d?vscertain railroad schemes seeking tho appropriation of millions of dollars introduced, and this resolu? tion, it is manifest, mcaus nothing moro nor less than to shut off debate, aud hurry these railroad swindles through. To show his good faith in opposing tho resolution, Mr. Leslie then proposed to amend, by excepting all bills that looked to un appropriation of the public money, I which was also refused, and, a vote being taken, the resolution was adopted. j A joint resolution making un appro- j priatton of 817,000 for tho extension of J the Stuto Lunatic Asylum, was next taken up, aud passed to a third reuding.
