from the authorship Of an unfounded calumny
II, however, you judge it to be wise, or prudent
or expedient to seek a personal controversy with
me over Mr. Knowlton's grave l shall greatly re

still more. Nor can / believe that upon COO

This gentleman has short, gray hair, and

expression of countenance and certain
twinkle Of the eye which fully justify his
known reputation for wit and humor:.
AS presiding officer he could hardly be
excelled; no sort of compleXity in debate
seemed to confuse him in the least. In
deed, it is impossible with his parliament
tary knowledge and quick eye to depart an
inch from the legitimate line of discussion,
OF spring any improper motion or amend
ment upon the house. He is also rigidly
impartial, firm, and self possessed. DIR.
