of the body on which the destiny Of the Republic
depends
The adoption Of Congress has given the CLosr
official character as the reporter of all that il
sad and done in the body. This sanction has beer
voted at every successive session for many years
and by members Of all parties. The press, too, o
all parties has borne testimony to the fidelity with

Still there great many men OF leisure and
