on Wednesday, the 4th instant, and cons
tinued in session to Monday last. The
number of Visters and Lay Delegates was
less than had generally attended former

His answer, which consists of three close.
ly printed sheets, is principally employed
in compliments on the South, hosannas to
the greatest and best, and abuse of that

spoons are ordered. This is the very per-
