He opposed tlie doetrme of repudiation in every shape, although his county had no share in the internal improvement syttem. There might possibly be some excuse for mentioning the word repudiation in reference to Ihe atsthchildg of Enfupe and other F.uropean Hankers, but when we virtually repudiate tiie debts of our own citizens, our country will be rotten to its core, and will net be worth farther preserving Mr. Marvin bed Voted let the bill he would now vote to reconsider He wished it amended.
