But we protest against all argu ment for such
purpose based on Mr.. C.'s necessities. Congress
never asked him to collect his Gallery, and can
no more be required to buy it because he is en-
barrassed than to buy all the factories and forges
now idle and in the hands of Sheriifs and mort
gagees, having ruined their late proprietors. The
only valid argument in the premises is that based
on the Galery's value. Mr.. Catlin's necessities
are not in point. "a.
