Can you eradicate from mémory and from history the fact that, in March, 1834, a majority of the Senate of the United States pássed the resolution which excites your énmity? Is it your váin and wicked object to arrogate to yourselves that power of anníhilating the past which has R C been denied to Omnipotence | itself?
