extremely cut of place. AS far as regards
his vindictive remarks on us, we have only
to say that old age when verging into child
hood always receives our pity, but when it
sinks from its exalted and revcred position,
to indulge in all the worst traits of mans
character; to indulge in vindictive spleen,
it receives from us as it merits our most
profound contempt. REp.]

TAT the request Of the House the Reporter
states that the Apportioument bill published
