taken s. game nj which wiser men have often Jailed,
and ON tvo oocssivps 10 the debate Of this morning
has been made to cut quite ridiculous figure. The
o,embers listen to bin with exemplary patience but
his influence, even with his own party, Is gone. A
,oton was made to amend bis motion 10 exclude, by
Including him. at witch he flew into passion and de-
elared himself ready 10 meet any man outside OF the
House at any tue aud place. This raised laugh at
al. expense and the poor fellow subsidized into his seat
quite chopfalleu.

held upon that part Of Military Appropriation bill
