"SUBSEQUENT MAJORITY."—Mr. Stanberry of Ohio, in the Randolph mission discussion: applied this term to the Jackson party, who by their votes sustained the monstrous principle that the President has a right to appoint an itinerant minister to a foreign power, with permission to reside anywhere except in the country to which he is sent.

Mr. Carson, who has killed his man, bristled up at this, and inquired if Mr. S. meant to apply that epithet to him; as though little Mr. Carson were in his individual person, a majority of Congress! Mr. Stanberry replied that the term was a very general one, and would apply to those who merited it by their votes: whereupon the North Carolinian marksman, took his seat.
