what follows, which we copy from the MadIsoni-

branching power. But while this was the case,
they owed to tho couniry-they owed 1t to their
brethren, and To the great object OF accomplishing
all that good ultimately which they had hoped
would bo effected by the passage of ,his bill,

them as to tho means. They had, therefore,
