ity that after much consultation among the
members from ysur State, it was determined
to be the most expedient course 10 attempt TO
postpone the consideration of the report and
that this was assented 70 not only BY The de

had not made up t.er minds to vote in favor
oft at present. Several considerations, il is
understood, Influenced ibis. decision.-The
members oflhe present House were elected
before any complete report or statement OF
the facts and Of the whole merits Of the claim
had been prepared, and lard before. the pub

with their constituents, bad imbibed senti

on a misconception Of facts, and on the gross
Misrepresentation, which am sorry~to say
