cal lobe mistaken that his services wee not
entitled to this mark of approbation from the

eted lhal by this act he bad been disglaoed in
the eyes of tbe nation, and in a letter on ihis
subject says : 'A vote of ihe Senate of the Uni

best answer is the resolution of Congress

The Tories mak a great exclamation a
