iy of his motives, and his strong desire thai
these resolutions should pass unanimously
and his willingness to so alter them thai
while they retained all that was necessary
they should mot be obnoxious in any party

his party. Those resolutions must he man
ufsctured into electioneering capital.
We are driven To the necessity Of voting
in favor Of censures which we do mot ap-
prove, or vote against n general measure

in favor Of the resolutions, and which, il
not granted, be the effect of my vote on the
approaching election what il may, ] shall
