1t will be that the House of Commons agreed TO
amend the resolutions from tho Senate so as TO
wish that President Jackson may bo re elected, al
most unanimously.
The resolutions submitted by Mr.. Sawyer, protesting
against the usurpaons OF the general government and
approbatory OF the course pursued by President Jack
