JOHNSTON and almost every Wing edi

speech of Judge Johnston, and reaC

this record no where presents protest
or minority report upon the resolution
by Chase. But on the contrary posi-
lively reads that Chase was a member
of the convention, and member of this
committee, and that the resolution was
unanimously adopted. Now one thing
