upon the table lie then believed he had the right 10 cal
for their adoption, and he had therefore rejected The ollie

lie now, however, ,nved that his Resolutions might BY
courtesy he permitted to be laid upon the table and be
ordered be printed with the view that the grounds
yesterdays division might hereafter be correctly under
stood and comparison made TO discover how ia. the al
legged similarity existed between his and The other
lulons He thought it necessary for this purpose, tina
they should be printed that it light be seen wIelhe
they differed or were similar and that the principle de
cided upon night be clearly understood.

sion Of yesterday, the subject should be again brought VI
