informed Of the secret influences which
we're at work in thus city. to entertain
any such prospect. Jtd think that a
distinguished eastern gentleman, a forssr
governor of our state. GOV. OVEN whose
name was in nomination, would have
been selected. And. sir. had the lnl have
fallen upon him. | would have never Ut
tered word OF complaint. I had bsen
