perfect frenzy of Indignation that the President
should have dared TO nominate one, however well
fitted, who had presumed to question the official puri-
ty of one federal Senator-the Senator who had

of office to President Van Buren,, General Jackson
standing by, remarked with his characteristic know
ledge of the American people, 'There my chief
justice rejected by the Senate, swearing in as Pres-
dent my minister to England, hkemse rejected by that
conclave." We trust that Pennsy lyania, indeed the
whole Union will reverse the Senate's prescription
