minisiefed to any unfortunate wight for a long
time. lie said that Young. in his haste 10 make se-

plying claimants" The, had tile TO land otrecord.
They were not IN any sense " inrfuders." But men.
Who. having titles OF record 10 The lands they oeeupi-

csdent claims. A serious question was presented,
AZ To the compensation they were entitled TO, when
they gave up The lands they lad occupied. Those
were the claimants in whose fo,of Nh Clay had sIo-
Ken on the occasion referred to. But what similar

But he put II TO the Senator, whether this species
of note taking WAS quite compatible with courtesy

No public man would be 80 suicidal IN his feelings,
