The following arc the remarks made by Mr..
SrRArroN. Of Wayne. in reply to Mr.. German, IN
the House Of Representatives., in the case of the
dedication Of William J. Brown.
Mr.. STRATTON replied that the gentleman
from Monroe and Brown, (Nr. Gorman,) was at
fec ed with occasional fit of the btg Head, and
wiihal very smart. But he need not attempt
TO make this matter personal with nun; that ne
performed his duty, wha, he believed to be such.
and was be driven from 1t even oy ihreafs
of that thrice valiant gentlemin, that ne was re-
spons,ble for his and sought no concealtnen';

equally free from apprehension, 'h's sup!e'. ~"

men let them demand investigation, as innocent
men certainly would do, and not quietly lie down
under the charges, attempt TO shuihle out OF

this subject md present the facts I" the House
without partalty. and without concentment. And
why is it that gentlemen shrink from such an m
vestiga,ion? have they not n majority on ms
floor have they mi partIZnn Speakeri-a Spea-

tice will serve his turn, to Mr.. BrownY The
course then FOR gentlemen 10 pursue was PLAIN
one le, them meet the issue like meu, ms The
faithful Representatives OF the people, and as the
sworn guardians OF the Constitution. And IN this
way ne must be permitted TO tell his friend from
Monroe and Brown, Mr.. German, that he would
have exhibited more true courage, and have made
n much nearer approach to common sense than
