THE LEGISLA'rURE.,.

John Brough, and James Collier. They mat

has failed TO secure the great object 81, iheifu

Virginia were willing 10 lei the thread of the
channel of the river be the boundary beiwecn

privilege should be given to the, citizens .or
Virginia, Of holding their properly, lpons
any part of the river as securely as on theirown,
shore; and farther, that if the Supreme Court
Of Ohio should decide that this proyissn CON-

prohibits slavery, then upon such decision

OF mine. II has not been my intention Mt any

nominee of the National Convention, either Of
