%" INA" before TO expect the adoption of any modi
"eauo" OF tho EIehequer project that will n, once
receive tho signature of the Executive and mass IN.
oruea' oil vote IN Congress. On this sub,,c, AIR
Mangum' while assuming to speak only for himself
mas expressed theopnons of majority Of the VIII,
party IN the Senate; and from tho Loco Focos no,h
ing approaching TO a compromise is to be expcc,.d.
In day or two Mr. Simmons will mako n sn..,h
which will comport in all essential particular, with
that already delivered by the eloquent Senetor iron,
North Carolina; and no will bc followed by others
equally reluctant to yield inch of ground in f,yor
OF the Executive measure.
Noverthele,s though the debate on this subject
