VOL L L 162 HISTORY OP CONGRESS. He was among the most prominent supporters of t...he bill re funding the fine imposed by Judge Hall on General Jackson. He argued that to refuse to pass it would be an act of the grossest injustice to the American people, and would stamp them with ingratitude to their bravest defender.
