which might bear the seml'ance Of attempt to
rake over the Goals again, with u view To ascertain
whether there yet any brands that might 10

attribute no such motive to the gentleman from
Fauqulcr, but whence proceeded the necessity o the
denunclatory address with which that gentleman IA
yored the committee on yesterday! The gentleman
