Again: Mr.. Henry stated tia, the Leg.
Islature had voted $4,000 to Gov. Dudley
for the repairs Of the Governors house
and furnishing il, and that he spent $3.50
more than the appropriation. This is all
true, aud when the people will reflect thai
the Governors house had been fitted IN

years and after the Legislature had made
