A QUAKER CONGRESSM

There are two members of congress
whose installation into office differs
in form from that of all others. These
are Marriott Brossius and Charles But
Ter. both PennsylVanianS and Quakers.
Instead OF making an oath to do their
duty. viz. placing their hands upon
the Bible and making a solemn appeal
TO God. as they promise to fulfill all
their obligations. which is the estab-
lished custom of congress, these men
in accordance with their religious
views merely arise in their seats ana
affirm That is. they make their
promise solemnly. but not IN the FORM
