LAWYER LAND next followed. H6l
long disultory discourse, in which
mainly followed in The wake oil Lava
Brooke, in trying TO create an excema
for tho purpose VI u'u"tiug vi tho o,;r.
of the people, from the subject Of dica
sion, aud fixing them on National politics.
He never touched the COnSlluiOnlhtgd
the question under debate, and IN hsh
showed more shrewdness than hvya
Brooke, who only exposed Ihe weakness
of their cause. Lawyer Land admitted,
that the bonds were sold under The sup
pIement, and relied mainly on thenb@
quent assumption by the State. HeaIi
as the State had neglected 10 rePltaH
the bonds in due time, that il was af
recognition of the debt. 10 proof Ohs'
he read law showing that il an agent
violates his at,orneyship, and the principal
afterwards recognizes the transaclon,h
is thencelorward bound. As il SensIDi

ton under debate, he adrOltY slid OBJ
a violent abuse OF Governor McNut,n
poured a vial Of wrath on Benton 800

again appealed to the whg'io fN O'"
eyes on Ty., at the same nnep0""s

Mr.. Griffin having such pllsO' oU'I N,
and papers on the stand, and S''
barred the reading Of CONSTITUTIONS
charters in the discussion Of this S0'I.'
plainly intimating that he had no "'
