that the remarks of the gentleman from Mary

Mr.. ]. said he always felt disposed to yield to
the decision of the Char; but he should have been
gratified at having an opportunity OF contrasting
the subsequent opinions of Georgia with those OF
the present ''great republican pary," in relation
to that individual"
