was Speaker Of the House Of Representa-.

that, the Hous., on one occasion, refused
10 allow him TO appoint Committee, and
the usual vote Of thanks was opposed and
the Yeas and Nays called upon it-an
event which never happened but once be.

Tennessee, but his conduct gave so little
satisfaction to the People Of that State, that
they turned him out; and though he ba,
