Mr. ANDERSON'S Remarks in the Senate, (FeJ 19.)
Mr.. ANDERSON said, that the extraordinary Course
which this debate had taken yesterday and 10 day,
would Justify him with the Senate in irespassng upon
their patience for a short time. The gentleman from
Isle Of Wight, (Mr. Hoeman.) had read to the Con.
servalives hony yesterday, in which he had lee.
tured them very severely for their obsnacy in adherng
10 MIR Rves, and complained very much Of their reno.
minatuG him so often He even mpuaned their mo.
lives aud sad that he would compel them 10 choose be-
tween Tyler and Mason The gentleman however, in
his sIcech 10 day, has disciamed any intention Of
fleeing, in his speech on yesterday on The motives Of
the Conservatives Of using any language offensive
10 Them and that he spoke yesterday under great
element and that if be said any thing improper it was
under it's influence. This PLANTATION and disclaimer of
the gentleman from !. of w. would prevent him from
noticing the speech of the gentleman yesterday, in
the manner he had intended, and this he the more
readily inclined to do he very excilabIe himself
and under lis influence sometimes spoke mprudcnlly-
But as the gentleman exhibited himself The very pei
sonifcaon of Democracy, he felt it his duy TO notice

that the DECISION of The Speaker OF The H. OF Delegates
which had been sustained by majority in that House of
