3nh. Because Me have seen no instance
Of his fiFmness 10 resist any measure Of

Of the people. We do not remember 10
have seen any speech Of the late member
on The side ol the states or the people. as
conlradistinguishrd from The party inle-
rests Of those in power. We desire a.
boye all things. that our member shall be
independent Of Oh influence, except the
influence Of his constituents. and his con.
scienIious sense Of duty.
9Th. Because we severely condemn the
Anterior caucus. and the course Of our
late member in going into that caucus
whereby, he compromised. as far as he
could. the great peculiar interest OF The
