was uncompromisingly opposed TO any
election this session.
! Mr.. Goodson remarked that the gentle
man from Page was no doubt very able

giving the enemy to understand before

| Mr.. Mcpherson had done So because
Wings and Democrats both knew the

Mr.. Preston had heard the documents
very indis:inctly but as Texas and Dnr-

documents contained an expression oil

that both would be printed, and he fell, in
cliued to move the printing OF an extra

have these papers printed.
Mr.. Goodson, advetting to the strict

it was not at all improbable but that the
people Of his section Of the country would
have to adopt the same course, which has
been so much condemned in Dorr. Gen.

ment that Mr.. Lucas has no idea of Withdrawing,

tertained of putting Wing upon the track.
