Mr.. "H." asserts hat ,esc TWO votes show
"conclusively that he ,Fl4MoaE) thought it be
meath the dignity Of the bdy 10 which he he
longed to entertain such nnstrous propositions
and that his object wal 10 force GlDDINos Il

two votes, given PRECISELY in the same way
show EQUALLY "conclusil" that J. Q. Adams

The point OF order GILMORE himself being

upon this point, MIR. a ADAMS, who after The
vo'e on the appeal wa aiken, said
"Accordine 10 the ia 0, the gentleman from
