with his remarks
The reason Why Mr. A. was jesirous Of poslpor
iny thu consideration OF this subject iii Monda,
morning from the unpleasant nature and cha
ractcr-u unpleasant TO him, and no thought very like
IN unpleasant TO this House--oi the observations Ia
felt himself called on in the discharge OF his duty
ne Representative OF the People in this Hall. Il
make. IL was no ordinary occasion which could re-
qnre OF him the discharge Of this duty. As th'
foundation of it. referring TO some oil the oSserva-
uuns he had yctterday made, he would read par
of the report Of speech made by his colleague oye

House. TWAS in this form rs reported in the in-
tolhgencor and SO far rs his recollection went "
reported correctly. II stated the principal point

ton of his colleague which he was WILLING 10 NEE,
as n mem Der OF this House-the destiny of this
Congress was to be completed il, the pros:raion of
the Government Of the United States to be restor-
ed hereafter 10y more virtuous Administration.
When MIR A. had heard his colleague make tha,
declaration, there was in the pain which it inflicted
on him ONLY one consolation and that was that II
his eoIleasueis views were now correef and had
cen at that time the glorious restoring Admins
tration would have the benefit of his assistance IN
doub.eIly with all the powers OF his mind Tbs,
was some consolation 10 MIRA If we were 10 90
10 ruin, If the course pursued by this Congress
was 10 accomplish the prostraiion OF the Govern
ment OF the United States, his colleague who had
then and at many other times entered his formal
protest against every act Of hi. CONGRESS- which
could constitute that conduct by which the destiny
OF the Congress was TO be accomplished. would
have the satisfaction OF knowing that il had always
been against his direct and earnest remonstrance;
aud Of course if the People Of this Union were 10
be reduced TO that state OF distress and misery which
was 10 tie inflicted on Them by this Congress 10
whom could they look restore that prosperity and
glory which his colleague foresaw il was the destiny
Of this Congress TO PROSTATE, but TO him and 10
those who worked with him2
But this was but one single sentence OF what hi.
colleague with three OF four ether members of thi.
House, had maintained fom the time when the
first controversy and dissenson took place betweer
-. s.s,s','S anu Executive departments of h
I, n"e"I ~ tne extra session. On the hrs
.. tno 1IseoIa ,s 9styesR fhnne nj which L"
already proceeded so far towards The sccononI;.b.
ment OF tho prosiralion of which his colleague
spoke, Mr. A. thought that his colleague had stated
IN this House that, whatever other gentlemen
might choose, he was for supporting the A dmins-
tration OF John Tyler, and he must ssy that mos
faithfully had that promise been carried into eec
10 ihis time. The Administration OF John Tyler
go far as It had been IN direct opposition TO the lie
fisauve authority oil the Union, had been fully sup
ported by ms colleague down TO this declaration;
ana IN Inc course Of mat discussion which had arisen
ana ihaue SO much progress IN inns country, his
colleague at repeated times, had declared himself
decidediy IN isVor OF tie Executive power and in
opPosihon 70 that congress whose destiny lac had
