Clarke's commentary upon that Palm to
: show the effect Of u general pardon upon
people who had violated law, and said u
would be good example for the majority In
this House to follow. Io would suggest TO
the gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr.. But
} Ter, and those who acted with him, that they

and forgetting all spirit Of revenge aud pun
. lshment, follow out the old Hcbraic or even
o the old Pagan law of forgiveness.
