was permitted to play the fool there, he has i'm
bibed the silly notion that he is great man in
Congress. Never was poor blockhead more
mistaken. His eternal cant about reform, D

Mr.. WISE asked Mr.. S. if he did not thank
those Northern members of the opposition who
voted with him on this question, and did he not
