and have been, cotcrious drunk

term, habitually tlTected bj ardent
spirits, drunk at least ence a week
impaired in constitution by, the
usa of -strong drink;' and I further
state, that 1 have citea heard ' the
reason assigned, and believe it was
a valid one, for the i Honse of4 Ue
present&tives of the Conrress of the
United f Sutes "not Sitting in the
evening.; after diar.cr, when i the

many of the members were so
much in the habit cf mtoxic&tioa,
that they were not only unfit them

tain hour in the , day, but, were
ukeljr to, prevent others from da
charging their duty by hterrnpt
iog the order cf proceeding. Du
ring the latter part of the session of

ben too drunk for the decency of

and in ; the Hall of the. House of

whose fathers handed down to it
the hallowed and immutable truth.

PARTY.NAMES.'&c. T
Tory, is an Irish word, derived from
tho word Toruihim ', which means to
pursue for purposes of violence. It had
its origin in Ireland jn the timeof Queen
Elizabeth's war. The Tories were al
ways ready for any tiling that was
bloody and villanous. In 10 11 they
had, as a L-:j J, of rather banditti, accu
mulated considerable strength and num
bers; and were foremost in tho Irish
massacre ;:; "
Kot long after this, a party sprang up
in Englandt so much like Lac trrics of
Ireland, that., the name was transferred,
and applied to Lbcm. -The torics in
