Within two or three days past have p:rulyzed the

speech, which was very reluctantly called from me-
that NC have been obliged TO resort to strong mca-

should be thought worth printing your newspaper

this corrected copy In my other speeches there arc
several matcriul typographical errors Be pleirsrii
