of space the character Of who despised
by almost every respectable member of Congress. But
we must take things find them. A cameleon de-

derive honor from the vocation to which des-
tined but ii becomes duty, which shall hasten TO
discharge rapidly possible, and then pass to
agreeable objects We do not arraign him upon
evidence only, but call upon the witness stand some
Of his neghbors, who are better acquainted with
him than we have the honor Of being. We proceed at
once to the testimony, and lei these witnesses speak
for u.s.
