protest against the action of the Senate on the
Revenue BILL because they refused, by direct VOTE
to permit any amendment or alteration OF the bill
as it came from the House Of Commons. The bill
was of direct and immediate importance to every
citizen of the State, and demanded, above all Others
the careful consideration and concurrence of both
branches of the Legislature. The refusal of the
Senate to act on and consider the bill was regard
a failure to perform the duties of coordinate and

it implied any distrust of the House of Commons

We trust these efforts may prove successful. Such
