much qualification if any thing in my power
can contribute, in the smallest degree, to
the exposure of those gross and Palpabie
decisions which have been so long imposed
upon the American people, by the abetors
of democracy, in regard to your public
character. "--Th hen noticing my official pub

management of the affairs OF the United
STATE, Mr.. Bowie says" In order to i'm.
pair the effect and universal conviction
which they had begun to operate IN almost
every section of the country, it was soon
found necessary to make you the incessant

commenced the practice OF the law: and
having studied in Baltimore with Judge
Chase and MIR. Martin, was we'll &C.

Baltimore Bar generally, with whom l
