Now, MI, President, I cannot denouncs
The CLERK. Of the Senate; for any act of
kindness he may have shown, or intended
to show me. It is said that he, by his
own personal order, caused certain arti-
cIes; TO be- sent to my boarding place, from
the store of George Symmers, and that
thasame were paid for ont. Of the public
fands.,. / .unhesitatinely answer, as for

and finally by both branches ofthe' Gen,

~ :, MI. President, well do I remember the
time when ,Symmers' claim was. before
this Senate when, after the passage of
many other claims, his seemed doomed
to . defeat; how the haggarda grocer
reached over this railing, with tears in
his eyes and trembling in his knees
howsin pleading gntones he begged of me
10 save. him from ruin in business and
poverty by advocating the Justice of his
demands: How he assured me- of the
equitydof his claim, and appealed to my
sympathiesi ion that: i:occasion. His tears
and ifsars enlisted my support, and with.
out egotism, but nf'isorrow, i asseft
through the energetic advocacy then
made, for what !. was assured By him Was
an honest demand, his claim was passed,
and now, this alien migrate stands ready
TO strike the; one who listened to his COM
pIaint, served him in his distress, saved
him from ruin and bankruptcy. I have
no words to express my contempt Of such
character, my regret that have ever
been moved by such monster into the
support of-what he would now have us
believe was an Ubiquitous frand. l thank
God heicannot say by my act, or request,
that T ever permitted him to add to the
list of. his imputed frauds one mill against
the State which he with Others, equal
with. him IN business have plnndered.
