presentation, against the repeal Of the Bankrupt Law
lie considered nse obliged 10 obey the expression oil
the Will Of the people Of Kentucky made through the
Legislature Of that State. He did not occupy the
elevated position with his liiustrous colleague. He

Mr.. Morehcad himself could assume the same ex

more limited, he must act in accordance with the Will
Of the State which he III part represented. No matter
what might be the general wish therefore, he
