A similar bill was passed by the Senate. but it had in it. by an oversight. a misdescription of the tiecks of vessels and consequently a wrong definition of the spaces where passengers might be allotted in the ships. The President returned that bill with his objections to it on that account. but all objections are obviated by this bill. which has passed the House. Every days delay in the passage of such a bill as that will fix on the immigrants coming to this country untold disasters and wrongs. I believe the sentiment of all our people. both of American and foreign birth. has demanded with a unanimity almost unparalleled the passage of some law to guard against this infernal middle passage and the evils and wrongs which have accumulated upon those who come to make this country their home. I hope my friend will not object to the consideration of the bill now.
