With what an-anxious desire to regulate

or persuade them to unite with us in a

munity; those who were immediate spec-
alors of the scene besicantells One of
the undersigned representing the feelings
of us all, on the floor of-the Senate express
ly tendered to the friends of the Executive
the-assurance,of un earnest desire to btiry -

in measure's at which no, - party cavil could
be-uttered. but it was in vain. The on-
ly answer was derision at the offer, and- a
eornful denial of the existence.of all dis
tress among our constituents.
Not discouraged by the failure of all
these efforts, the undersigned again matured
a measure of relief designed to effect the
great-object-in -the- attainment of hick-- we
believe the hopes of our sidfaing constitu
