MIR. Speaker, one observation more and shall clos
my remarks. From the high standing Of the gcnl!ria
from Massachusetts, have right TO suppose that Ih
expression made by him to which have taken eSccr

and without due reflection. ! cannot believe tlat IL

Jackson in this particular. If lie possesses the Jrsr

Charge and act by others he would wish others u'
