the Chair, declaring what be Mr. He,l-
ley bad ssid was untrue. In the fa'e OF
all tbis he Mr.. III had proved by two re-
putable men bers that wba, he said was trne Mr.
III b;s n
ground Of ambition Mr.. III. was soiry to nc ar That
cur Governor, cur Speaker, and our CLERK, were 81
traitors. He sorry 10 hear that 10000 men ~
our State were traitors and that majority OF this
House were traitors And yet the gentlemsa from
New.York Mr. Leigh hac said this was 50: tie maj
teen surprised to find men here breaking their oatus
AID obligations. AZ for himself, he had taken none OF
these oaihs or Obligation; be would take no pledge
for all the Councils in Chri.tendom Because he had
said that all the pledges given voluntarily should not
he broken-that perjury should:haye consideration
before j. was done storm WIS r,lsei

yet be calls upon men 10 break tne voNs-to dlsre-
gard their pledges. And why Was IT TO secdre

Mr. II should az Speaker OF the House, say to
them " geutl. II en-, never mind yolr pledges, ihe7

Til YVES the difference betseen the Spesker and
bin Mr. II He had advised these men TO desert
their fre1 De 10 disrs gard their osths and he Mr.
had EXPRESSED his adherence of such course. Mr..
II ssid bad the Speaker expressed his senti 1ents
before the organization Of this House. be would never
have occupied that Char. Why were his friends kept
in gporaDce 20 long He speaks of obligations, which,
though be tays he never in the Order, II - siDgu
lar thai he should know anything about. He reads
oatbs which he Mr.. II knew nothing Of, and which
be would never subscribe to. He says thst the oath
tuel If it was, said Mr. H., all l have to say is,
God forgive you. So far he was concerned, he
conld say it sas not true. With regard TO the
member from Greene, Mr.. RickersOn,l who hsd
received the letter about which so mu III has
been SAID, be Mr. H. was informed that

prc duce from WasLr gton writings such sentiments,
end so many Of them sustaining this Americ An party,
that he would regret ever introducing them here.
He had too, referred to the early dissolution Of this
American party. Tha, psrty which bad sprung up
