his opportunity to make remark or two
upon memorial which he intended to pre-
sent, from meeting OF the citizens of the
third congressional district IN Pennsylva-
MIA. 1t came from the young gentlemen of
Philadelphia; and he thought, coming from
such source, 1t presented an instructive
lesson. 1t proceeded from class of citi-

and 1t therefore spoke the lessons of wis

natural, proper, and necessary to the times
in which we lived. These young gentle.
men represent that the constitution has
been violated and the laws trampled on.

MIR. MOORE then rose and briefly explain

both the resolutions, and was followed by
Mr.. MchEAN, who said he thought it his
D duty to give, in one word, his reasons fol
