opposition TO western interests in the Cow eniion. He
admitted ihai MIR Leghs opposition had been seadast
anu unwaveitng -avowed with candour and maintained
with unexsmpled ability he coniended that that was
no objection to hH II only proved his fidelity to bis con-
siiuens That Mr.. L., went into the Convention az an
Eastern man represent Eastern interests he would
have been traitor 10 his constituents he had not all.
