Now, sir it seems to me that after all more conse-
quence has been given this matter than need be- and
more, think than the gentleman himself regards it

Mr.. WELLER. Mr.. President, believe that since
the arrival in this country Of the distinguished parsonage
who has been the subject of this debate tAe public mind
has been less excited in particular localities
This think was very natural There are great many

section Of the country but in the West in the city of
Cincinnati, for instance, as well in the city Of New
