judgment Of this genteman's (Mr. Rahbuns) course,
when we state that in his speech he anmadverted with
Coffee, but when he came to vote, he sctysy voted
against striking them from the bill His object as well
as as that s!u Of the wings, was evidently to make
might defeat @ question of xsra sist 'S.y
raised here; and he denied that he said a single
word about the tax tea and cofee-not one
word He had consulted gentlemen who sit near him,
and they justify him in the remark; he had consulted

have been in way different from what YVES charged
Committee of Was and Means show disposition to tax

and willing to tax tea and coffee; and he would have

method Of defeating bill was resor.ed to-the Post
Office bill the river and harbor BILL and the Smithso
sonian institute bill The editor might have been aware
OF the facts, If he had paid any attention to them
The editor concludes his articles by saying -" As
soon we have seen these last two convusve speeches
tied to any further animadverson" So seems he was
to be arraigned and logged by who holds ma
to the satisfaction of the editor he was to be arragned
and logged again He had no desire disposition to
provoke controversy and he would further
reply until the editor should make further anmaIver-
sion But he would that the editor was not elected
by the House to be its master, to carry whip

into subserviency to him. If he (NIr Rathbun) made
mistakes and preferred one bill to another Il was mat
ter for his constituents His conduct with them was pro
perly matter of animadversion" but Il was not for
the editor to censure him. If the editor had learned the
experience of forty years he say that the editor
was dull scholar He did not DESIRE but Mr. Richie
was anxious to provoke controversy let him go on
and necessary the war shall be carried Africa
