MONDAY, MAY 5TH.

Mr. Bland & Mr. Mercer moved to erase from the Journal the
resolution of Friday, the 2d. inst. applying for an addition of three

456

Millions to the grant of six millions, by H. M. Xn. Majesty, as in
part of the loan of four Millions requested by the Resolution of

457

September the 14, 1782. As the resolution of the 2d. had been
passed by fewer than nine States, they contended that it was

458

unconstitutional. The reply was that as the three Millions were to
be part of a loan heretofore authorized, the sanction of nine States

459

was not necessary. The motion was negatived The two movers
alone voting in the Affirmative.
