that my name is inserted of those who voted on

upon that BILL should have voted-trst, with my wing
friends, reject the preamble to the bill in which that
declaration contained because believe it untrue.
If that proposition failed should have still voted with
the majority of my wing friends for the bill, trusting that
my former against the preamble would stand my
protest against the truth of the declaration contained in
such preamble. AS was, however not member OF the

you have given me the credit of doing.
