As it appeared the petition which was a- w greed on at that meeting would not rome tp hand m ' antil the next pod day, and as the queiiion to which j,, it related might in the mean time be taken, he and g, his colleagues thought it neccflary to make this tr j communication. The h»'jfe then resolved itfelf into a committee of,, re h , ' le whole, Mr. Muhlenberg in the.*chair, on the ce Ilate of the Union, and the resolution for carrying f a it into effedl the Britilh treaty being under confidera- t a tion, Mr. N. Smith and Mr. Dayton ( the speaker) spoke in favor of the motion. Mr. Christie spoke t 'h also a few words in condemnation of the. treaty ; nc but oMerved, as he found the greater part of hjs c ii c constituents were dcfirous that the treaty Ihould he „pc carried into effect (though theyhad not attempted ~a n f to influence his vote j he Ihould factiiice his own o *lreii*-j- " "iHry fh» 1., ■ hfuluilivn fu, tfi>L - -pi - ry the treaty into effect. s The question being called for, and every p 2r t of nr the committee appeating to concur, a division took C 'd 1 P*f ce « whcn tl,ere appeared <9 gentlemen io favor hi , 1 motion and 49 again It it.
