70 Benton, Thomas Hart (Mo.) 1820-50 1852-54 Branch, John (N.C.) 1823-29 1831-33 McKinley, John (Ala.) 1826-31 1833-1835 Wilkins, Wm (Pa.) 1831-37 1842-44 Conrad, Charles M (La.) 1842-43 1848-50 Rantoul, Robert (Mass) 1850 1851-52 McRae, John J. (Miss) 1851-52 1858-61 Wilkinson, Morton S (Minn) 1859-65 1869-71 Nesmith, James W (Ore) 1861-67 1873-75 Buckalew, Charles R (Pa) 1863-69 1887-91 Poland, Luke Potter (Vt.) 1865 1867-75 Kellogg, Wm Pitt (La.) 1868-71 1883-85 Norwood, Thomas (Ga) 1871-77 1885-89 Eaton, William W. (Conn) 1875-81 1883-85 The sessions of the senate were held with closed doors until 1793, therefore little is known of the proceedings which means so much in launching the new government. The merest outlines are given in the "Annals of Congress", a still more abbreviated record in Benton's "Debates in Congress" and very little aside from these that is authentic and trustworthy.
