Senor VERA declarrd, that it never was his in-
tention to throw d s.,:redit on the Cotes ; and,that,
such as the EXpOsilioll %%AS, ho, had taken it from
the public papers,,--;me portion from this, awl an-
other from. that.

.hay.feotailYenernies, but fortunately We ktiow the.n.
C-ongrk;ss.ought to pioceed in its dtgoi&ki career,
without occupying its time with this p tper ; but at
the 'Sarne time no deputy Should' be. perolitted tti
blaefien the Cot tes. Those who draw up such pa-*
pers are men capable of capitulstin'g with the
Ftench ; and I DOW swear to bury Myself under the _
ruins of the: nation ! .(And I ! and 11. exclaiined
nutnber of deputies.)
