THERE are, doubtless, some peo.
pie in this nation who would like
to make the public believe that the
senate should be held responsible
for the failure to appoint dclega-
tion, or, if there is any blame at
all for such failure, it should attach
TO them. They don't seem to rec
ognize the fact that the members
Of the senate, who are charged
with this omission, were elected
with the understanding that they
would not themselves, nor place in
position other parties who would,
or could be induced or misled to
favor him, employ Phillips as the
nations agent and council. They
did not do this solely on account
Of the wish Of their constituents,
but because they themselves had
no use for Phillips. They worked
for, and determined upon a dead
certainty that he should have moth
ing further to do with our affairs,
and they succeeded as far as their
power reached.
