report state that Mr. Smart made the speech
appended which occupies four columns Of that paper,
and the report edds the question taken and the
luton adopted Now not one word OF TINT speech
uttered the floor and he mentioned this in spirit
of personal unkndness. There chance there
FORE under these circumstance TO reply TO the gentle
man. The Administration, OF whose manner OF con-
Quoting foreign reatiobs we should be proud was
now going out Of power and Yves improper attack il
In this way without chance for its defense.

OF authority and appropriated them to Its use two years
ago. And to this time not one cent OF ndemhineanon
has been obtained for his constituents What Is the
Government for but TO take OF the rights ana pro
tect every citizen, however humble He repeated ne
sent tho speech be published because there was no
opportunity 10 deliver it in the House, and place the
facts before the people. You may say what you viii
