Mr. STACY Il regret to notice in your pa
str of Nov. 81 an article apparently editorial
npulng to Mr.. Speaker Tracy the use of

turing the discussion of the Ascutney Bank

NJ been an attentive listener to the debate up
sa that question, and especially to the re-
marks Of Mr.. Everett and Mr.. Tracy was in
.erect accordance with the strictest parlia-
neutary decorum, neither insulting nor " Sc
er" Mr.. Tracy's remarks perhaps Occupi-
u three minutes in their delivery and were to

am quite certain that no language more

members then in the House for the truth

Equally incredulous am as to the asser-
