Congressional district
Mr.. Aylett protested against any interference
with the appointments of the Chair. He had, by
decided vote of the Convention, been entrusted
with the performance of the duty; and Mr.. A., for
one would submit to attempt to deprive the
Chair of the legitimate exercise of that duty and
he hoped the Chair and the Convention would dis
regard all dictation ON the subject
