started to his feet, and in an excited man-

ranid manner his protestations acrainst the
adoption of any such proposition. At first,

to it with profound attention, and I careful-

The proposition now before the body, how-

is a very extraordinary one. It is one that
is unprecedented on any occasion of this
kind. It is of a nature calcuhted, if adop-
