lie should have made the same motion had
the person for whom he had voted been elect

proposing it.
''Mr. Gardenier eupported the motion. He
was in favour of it on the principle of this go
vernment, that the many ruled, in contradis
tinction to that of monarchical or aristocratical
fovernments where one or a few bore sway.
Ie thoucrht it consistent with the republican
mode of proceeding and thiuking proper for
this country that on all practical occasions
this rule should 'be regarded where the many
were as competent as the few or the one ; and
without meaning the least disrespect to the
present Speaker, he conceived that the mem

thajr own organs as the Speaker, whoever

and corruption bad cankered it to the very heart.
It was in evidence before the trrand jury at rticn-
mond and elsewhere he believed And the impres
sion was produced by the evidence of the comman
der in chief and his witness Dunbaugh, that one of
the office i-s, z. the person who commanded at 1- ort
Massac, was the tool of Aaron liurr ; and yet Mr.
R. said he had subsequently seen an address- and
he did not wish to make any charge against this pcr
soir ; he would not condemn him upon such, testi
mony, much less unheard an address from this ve
ry officer and others, ap,i-obatoiy of the Conduct of
the commamk-.r in chief ; and he had seen this very
officer appointed, he presumed with die approbation
of the commander in chief, to a higher command.
What were they to. think of the commander in
chiefwl.cn he came forward and stated what ne oe
licvcd, and fortified it by the tesUmony of a witness
on whom he relied, going to prove that a paitiudar
officer was an accomplice of Aaron Burr ; arid when
they saw that very officer putting his name to an ad
dress of approbation to the commander in chief, and
afterwards promoted in the army? What could
the y conceive, but that it was a commutation of so
much solid pudding for so much empty praise ?
Again ; Mr. H. said it had been in proof before tlv.it
iurv that the officer who had commanded at Chicka
saw lilufl' was so far implicated os to permit Aaron
Rurrtotake arms from the public arsenal at that
nlace for his expedition. The name of the officer
lir. aui.l h could not recollect. In short, he repeat
cd again to the House, that if the grand jury had
hpen o-nvcrncd bv the imDi essions made upon them
bv the testimony laid before them, they would have
been ol opinion that scarcely a man in tne arm
