sometimes feared, that complete hatnony would
not exist when the Conven ton should have decided

sage. lii singnlarly opropos to the sub
,ect now before The members Of the House
of REPRESENTATIVES The friends Of Van
Buren, have brought forward several "pre-
cedents'' for the conduct Of his partizans

the evil; of the character and operation Of

The deputy clerk came accordingly with
an excuse for his principle, and brought
the indentures; but on being asked ,ohy
the names of certain members acere not re
turned to the house, answered that he had
no certificate Of appreciation for them. The
house on this sent to inquire why these men,

that the present occupation by the Brl':h
