IN the highest terms, of the eoquence and ability
II has displayed.-We may not agree with Mr.. r.

exactly, what they are--for, are already warned
by the declarations of one of the Delegates on the
floor OF the House, that Mr.. II. himself complains
OF the misrepresentation which have gone forth of

iecty satisfied that great injustice has been done
him.

nate OF the IT, 81 do not put his de;ractors shame.
