On Sunday .s
Mr.. RUGGLEs asked leave to withdraw The me-
mortal oil Thomas Jefferson Smith, presented by him
few days since, for the that he had disco
vered i to contain language derogaory and offensive
towards w. A. Whitehead, another memorialisi, on
the same subject, whose memorial had been with
drawn for similar reason by the Senator from Mi
chigan. He certainly would not have presented il
had he been aware OF the indecorous language 1t
contained, 10 which his attention had since been
called.
