to have refused the members from New Jersey holding
the Governors certificate, seat in the House, had il
moi been proved By the cearcst evidence and by the
acknowledgement o.! the members themselves, that such
certificate was not IN accordance with the majority of
votes given for members OF Congress at the election
named in that certificate That the commission given
TO those was an outrage upon the right of suffrage

and not travelled out of the record to attack gratui
tousy and without cause the course of gentlemen who
differed from him in opinion, and impue to them the

wholly by party feelings dsregarded right, ramped
upon the Constitution, and violated the principles of
common honesty. Such wholesale denunsi@tions had
