Congress, after Mr.. Jackson was dismis.

from Congress. Will you, said he, BY
withholding your support from the Presi-
dent, disgrace him before all the world by
comps ling him to refrace his steps. Such
a sacrifice he thought would fix an iadeli-

to him, and for which he seized perhaps
twenty million dollars of American pro-
perty.
