prove what he said. DR.. Scott replied it's |
false, It's false. Mr.. Hudson asked the DR..
to explain what was false; whether he did
not go into Wing Caucus or whether he
could not prove that he was so informed ?
The only reply to these interrogatories the
Doctor made was, It's false, tits false. A
motion was now made to adjourn until

Feb. 18th, 1S43.
The District question was argued this
morning for an hour or two, when the
members of the Senate came in and took
the seats allotted to them to proceed with
the trial of Judge Leland. The reply to
the response of Judge Leland was then
read. A motion was made that the witness
ses on the part of the State be called,
which was done, and very few found to be
present. The counsel on the part of the
prosecution moved that, in consequence of
the absence Of number Of witnesses and
some important documents. the trial be
postponed until Thursday morning. which
was granted. The counsel for the Judge
said they wished it distinctly understood
they were ready for trial at any time.
A motion was made that the members of
the Senate retire to the Senate chamber,
which was carried.
A number of bills of but little impor-
lance to our readers passed the Senate,
yesterday and to-day.
The war on the District question is now
progressing most gloriously. A great ma
ny speeches have been made to-day, and
how many more will be made God only
knows; but it is very certain, that no
law will be passed this session to authorize
the election Of Congressman from this
State by single districts. At the COM
mencement of the session there was ma
ority in the House in favor of Distric ling,
but wonderful change has taken place in
the opinions of some of the men,
bcrs; at least as i have been informed
since | have been here.
The difficulty between J. A. De Cour-
CIV, and w. J. Stratton, Esquires, of
Glasgow, was honorably adjusted by the
friends of both parties at this place on
Sunday last.
n. B. Since writing the above the Bill
to elect members to Congress by single dis
tricts has been killed in the House and a
Bill has just passed to vote by genera
ticket.
