was allotted TO territorial business but in conse.
quence of opposition TO a bill approptiatlng nearly
800 600 10 improve ports on the Western lakes,
(Which bill was rejected by the casting vote of the

members have made great sacrifices OF personal ease
and interest to accomplish, under the greatest OBJ
