~ eager nope OF triumph, quotes my confident

oi'a'io'i, that " IN my statement, know there
IS no error" repeat it, and the gentleman can
shew more. He says, that in each of tho voara

contingent expenses of foreign intercourse
there was appropriated sum of ten thousand dol.

EPT"e H"e these very appropriations for econ.

brings up TO convict ME of error But the qentIcA

inc aid OF HncS one would have supposed that
gentleman who has so thoroughly explored orr An.

ought 10 nave learnt by this time that the two

liehce distinct appropriations are always Md.
Tor them, as the gentleman will see by deonip,-
10 iock at the appropriation laws, without the
paihiui necessity OF looking at nv seDnrofc lime
which seem to have inspired him with STRANGE
horror
But the gentleman would persuade Won that h,
mas found another error in my statement of these
appropriations. lie says that in the wear 1922 in
mi.'o' state thcrc was no appropriation made
io' contingent expenses offoreign intercourse"
there was large uneXpended balance from for.
mer appropriations, which ought to have taken
the place OF this nothing. Now as protested to
give the appropriations only, and them merely 40

Incorrect Now as this is a curious sample of the
propensity which very early displayed itself in the
parliamentary career of the gentleman, to " make
