stood in the relation Of speaking for himself
MIR. LINN desired TO know which Of the bills the Sc
nator alluded to. There was one introduced By the
Senator from Kentucky, which obtained only five votes
in the body.
Mr. MANGUM knew of but one bill, probably ow.

retirement. The principle generally laid down was

brawers or incompetent persons. lie would not be
