If the Senate determine that the distribution

United States shall be distributed among the
States or not; and question of greater impor-
lance cannotpossibly arise. He wished this abb

pose to argue the question at this period of the

that has been heretofore seen of the disease, yet

and Montreal, it blazed forth at once, and in
