Such inbai,ution indeed reieinsles in no fmall
degree the PatiGan horde, collected together by
Anacharfs Cloois, the grea. "oyaso, ef The bs

dreacs which he had borrowed for The purpoie of

But truly we wonder how MIR. Macon the
Sneaker can 6nd patience enoughto bear with the
folly ard nonsense OF his own party, particularly
as we conceive thar he Is man of understanding
himself, for whose honest and independent con.
duct in the char We are happy in an occasion
of coniess,ng considerable respect. True il Is
that it Is no more than his duty TO listen and ar.
tend /: But that be should always be capable of
fulfilling his duty in this respect, serves only to
enhance his merit in our opinion. For Whit could
be more insuferably siresome and disgusting to
any rational man, than to be obliged to witness
ard watchthe pep s'erous behaviour, the perplex-
tiles, the frivolous and stupid scenes aeted by s
own friends during the whole of the last session,
which they seem disposed to Act agair i've

propriated last winter under ckJsd doors for tn.
purchtss, as ii now seems, OF New Orleans and
the Floridas, whithReport lie complimensed high

without much opinion of the Report itself, we
know Mr.. Nicholson too we'll to suspect be could
be guilty Of such thing, unles his wicked cou-

Narcissus.)
Well after Mr.. Randolph had talked about it /;

Randolph had answered 8" his freud from Penn

Mr.. Griswold's mischievousy enquring Of the
Speaker, 6 What IS the question before the

Mr.. Randolph rose again, and said, g Tbersis a
