manufacturers Of wine, who sent in parcels OF 1t to un-
dergo the Socety's examination and COMPARISON that
an opportunity has been afforded them, before such ex-

Change of Cuc!-The Sub-Treasury resolutions OF

Rcsolred, Tha, it is not intended hereby to imply
anu manner of eensure upon other public servants OF
the State, who, in the exercise Of rghiu indePon-
dcnce Of judgment. may have declared opinions to the
contrary" &c.
Now mark how Mr. Calhoun's friends put the screws
upon them in the last resolutions OF the last month
Resolred, That in The opinion Of this Legislature,
the policy indicated by those Resolutions is essential 70
the best interests Of the country; and that any pubic
servant teho refuses 10 promote the sdrns Pnrsuss
