if il be me, here is heart, said he, as he
raised himself on his toes, and struck his
breast with a. theatrical flourish, that new
er flinches, or words TO that effect.
Mr. Miller rejoined that what he had
said, he had said, and that he would stand
to it; but that he had not stated as the gen
tleman from Henry (Mr Lash) had said,
that he would hold gentlemen RESPONSE.
BILE, &c.--he had said he held HIMSELF re-
sponsible, &c.-.that his language was not
intended for any one in particular, but to
all who had INDUCED in those unmanly
and untrue remarks about worthy and
respectable citizen who was compelled to
listen to their scandal of his character
without having the privilege to repudiate
the false charges.
The question was then taken on filling
the blank with the name of j. II. Nc
Kenny, and decided in the affirmative.
1t will now go back to the Council, and
we have no doubt that the usual party
appliances will be put in requisilion in
urging them to agree to the amendment
Of the House.
We have thus given hasty sketch of
the proceedings in this matter. There is
evidently determination on the part Of
those whose sworn duty it is TO deal i'm
partially, as well as all other influential
members Of the Van Buren, party TO put
us down. In order to do this they are
endeavoring to blacken and destroy not
only our public but our private character.
We have become obnoxious TO certain
set of men, because we have stood up
manfully, for principles the prevalence OF
which we conceive to be Of vital interest,"
to the people-principles, which have
recently triumphed and have been again
re-establlshed by majority OF nearly
one hundred and fifty thousand American
freemen. Those who oppose us seem 10
have no disposition to bow 10 the will of
this vast majority, although they still
profess to be democrats! Such democra-
cy {? is an anomaly in the history of
our country.
