which the gentleman had madejagamst the ac

is his commission? and whence is it derived ?
and who authorized him to assume here the air
and tone of pre-eminence which so strongly
marks his lansuajje when addressing the Sen

feed," that he is to rise here ana lecture us for
decisions to which we hare deep)d it our duty
to come ? Where d:d be come from ? Is il tbe
litlle petty office of Chairman ofthe Committee
on Foreign Relations which warrants him, in
his own opinion, to put on thesejairs of author

ture us to our official duty, as he lias now done ?
