It was untrue —and this atlempt lu iinpuse upun thein lelligeiice uf Seiiiiturs antl the peuple, wuuld uut succeed. [Mr. P. here revievv- • d Ihe bill at length, shuwiiig that the Whigs Were ulluwed but 8 membeis cer¬ tain, while the Deuiucrals vvere sure of huving 14, and sluud an equal chance with their opponents, of securing the rcmain-

Mr. Pesximas also viewed this docus ment as a very extiaur linary one. The Atturney General speaks ul the courtesy due frum dill'erent departments of the Governnieni.
