tho Senate for tho last yea,, very large. md 1t
convinced him that there was NANTES, nu,ity
10 ordering such largo numbers. Why, the Post
Office report did not reach Ohio whole number to

him until the lsi Of October. And at this period

Of the People of this country ought to be given be.
fore they were decided. ifone Department Of the
Government should differ fom another on such i'm.
portant questions. tho People should be well in
oi med the causes Of this difference in order
that their sentiments on tho subject may be dis
