sweiaole speech from Mr.. Minor in favor

confannded at the ability wiki which these
gentlemen developed and proved 70 demon

tAc perfdy OF England. The only solid ar
gument against the resolution was that urged
by Mr.. Macon, that the general principle OF
approaching or cebsuring, in addresses or
resolutions, the conduct of the executive,
was improper on the part of the federal Lee
gslaturc.
