meantime they would be Of assistance TO the ex.
hausted Treasury. But such had been the decided
manner in which the amendmentsIof the Commit

! the iron rule under which they acting shaths
despaired of eftectng the compromise he had th

dent would not sanction the BILL and held that In
that event, twas their imperative duty, in the best
