TO THE EDITOR OF THE UNION.

As have not time to commit to writing my remarks
made on the 9th instant the House of Representatives
feel due to myself take the earliest opportunity of
the Union Of the 10th. That report is in great meas
ure made up of language did not use, and of ideas and
sentences wholly unmeaning and senseless except
neced with other ideas and sentences, which it seems
escaped the ear of your reporter These msrepors are
so frequent in the Hall of Representatives lily adapted as
is to speaking and hearing that very little attention is
paid to them but in the present instance, the
and omissions fatal to the of my remarks,
that could not refrain from taking notice of them
No reflection is meant to be cast upon the ability of your
that nothing said in the Hall of Representatives
can be correctly reported unless the member superin-
tend or revise the report OF his speech-a precau-
ton have never thought proper to take. .4u.
