states that if the laws Of the U States had

urges, further, that Mr.. Champion and the

ment of the United States have now to
weigh the declarations of four gentlemen
of unimpcachable honor and integrity a.

be placed Lord Clarendon concludes by
expressing the hope that these explanations
will be satisfactory. by giving the assu-
