inst, in which he reiterated the sentiments Of
his letter to George II. Martin-thst he was in
favor Of the Compromise measures, and " that the
Fugitive Slave Law was not only in accordance
with the Constitution, but that it was rendered
necessary by the provisions of the Constitution"
This was the substance of his speech as rendered
by the correspondent of the Pennsylvania. The
same correspondent adds:
Judge Laporte followed Colonel Bigler, and
made thorough expose of Governor Johnston's
double dealing, on the question Of the completion
Of the North Branch Canal.
Mr.. Wilmot being called for next, mounted q
side bench and made speech. Mr. Wilmot ssid
that he was not in "the bills Of the day" and had
not intended TO make speech. He said he listen

singular phrase is thus explained in D'Israelis

which the actors refused to perform to empty

loudly applauded. He suddenly started up, and
