and to insert tn lieu thereof the words, "the Indian nations within the United States" and also to erase the two last words of the resOlu- ton, (thOse nations) and in their stead to in- sert the word "theIn."

 MT. F. proceeded to state, that he wanted all the information which could be procured respecting the condition of all the Indians, and that he wished to do justice not only to those who dwelt in the southwest part of the United States, hut to all those residing tn any part of the country. So far as he (who was unfortunately the only rep-esc ntative Of Geor- gia now in the Senate) could undertake tO say, we seek tO do nothing which has not been already exercised by the majority of the states of the Union.

 Mr. F. concluded by saying. if the gentle man from New-Jersey wished 90 take time for the consideration Of his amendment, he would move to lay both resolution and amend ment, for the present, on the table. Mr. Frelinghuyscn did not assent to this course, hut suggested te the gentleman from Georgia. to propose his amendment m the form of new resolution. He repeated what his object was in proposing the resolution, and said, if the gentleman from Georgia would consent tO the adoption 0f his resolution, he would not object to the adoption ot resOiu- 1 ton embracing the same matter as the present amendment.

 Mr. Forsyth made no reply; and

 The question on amending the resolution was then pat, aod carried in the affirmative, by the casting vote of the President, the ayes and noes being equal.
