ourselves differing materially with another
about matters Of fact, particularly when
tho gentleman expresses such entire and
unlimited confidence in his memory. A

say that We have never known gentleman
who seemed to us SO often and 80 eyre

Development when men should be allowed
to change their opinions without censure,
