Russeing him; and for what! Sir, we near
great deal about the infrmity OF certain constr

great deal of constitutional inhrmity--seven
years is too long for some OF US 10 walt; ana IL
the President can be disposed OF at the eno Oh

have been, the fact is as have stated IT, that
there is discrepancy in the communications
Of the Executive 10 Congress; and VIII state
another thing when l come TO IT. It's, that
do beleve---though do not pledge myself 10
prove---but will pledge myself to make out
very strong case, such as would satisfy jury In
| the county of Charlotte--and would PUT nv
self on that Jury, and be tried by God and my
coun,ry--I then say, sir, that there is strong
rea son 10 believe that these South American
commune alions, which have been laid before
rs. were manufactured here at Washington, II
no, by the pens, under the eye of our own MI
nis,ers, to subserve their purposes. Sir, though
in one respect am like the great Earl OF War
wick the king maker, and little unlike him In
unmasking one king---,hough between two
hawks can tell which flies the higher pitch
between two dogs, which has the deeper mouth
between two horses, witch bears him best
between two blades, which hath the better tenn
per---between two girls, which hath the mefrler
eye--yet, in matters of law, | am like the I'M
learned Earl Goodlack. One thing has my
attention been turned ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the counters Of wise men, the money OF tools---

talk freely, they only betray their poverty, like
the fine ladies' in the Vicar Of Wakefield, by
their outrageous attempts to be very gen.
,eel The first thing that struck me in these
documents was how wonderfully these Spa
niards must have improved in English in
their short residence in the United States. 1t
| reminded me of remark in one Of SCOTS
novels, in the part about old Elspeth Of the
Craigbounfoot: "Aye,, says old Edie, "she's
veil educate woman; and an she win 20 her
English, as hae heard her do al an Ora time,
she NAV come TO tickle us "a" These Spa
uards have got to their English, and we are
| all hckled. But shall be told---not as have
been told---but as | am prepared to be told
because have kept this thing locked up here
| 20 bring il out here III this Senate---I shall be
told that these English letters were translations
from the Spanish, made in the Office o. the
Secretary of State. hope no,---I should be
sorry to see any such tokens Of affinity, and
consanguinity, and good understanding; but
they haye the footprints and the flesh-marks
Of the style Of that Office, DIS | shall show on
| future occasion. cannot show il now---it
would be unreasonable ---but show il | will, and
in manner that shall satisfy any honest jury
on the South side Of the Ohio, and Oh the
South side Of Mason and Dickson's line---any
honest jury:--and will bring the presumption
SO strong, that he mus, possess more than
Christian charity (Which covereth all things)
who will deny that there exists strong pre-.
sumptive evidence---and, sir, against the honor
of man, as against the honor Of lady, strong
presumptiye evidence is fatal thing---it is al
| ways fatal when that presumptive evidence cam
not be cleared Up and done away. Do you read
the letters of these South American missiona-
ries over again, and compare them with the
tone of the messages and letters which we have
received---put them in columns one agains, the
other, and mark the similitude. My suspicious
temper may have carried me too far---if it has,
beg pardon---but will shew enough---not
handkerchief---no to justify the jealousy of
Olhrllo--yet believe that the jealousy might
have been pardoned TO the noble Moor, certain
