ST.. PAU. February 20, looo'
Mnssrs. ED1roRs II herewith send to
YOU the pretended letter which was presented
to the House of Representatives yesterday
morning, and which was considered by
Messrs. Van Worries and Jackman private
document or letter, and withdrawn by the
signers. 1t is considered as petition or
direct instructions as to the course for them
to pursue on the Railroad bill now pending
before the Legislature.
They positively refused to carry out those
instructions or scishes, and as the persons
whose names are annexed left it with me to
make such disposition of the petition as
might think proper, presented the same
to Mr.. Mobiles to present to the House, as
Mfr. Van Worries and Mr.. Jackman had both
refused so to do, and found Mr.. MOBILES as
ready then to comply with our wishes as he
ever has been in any other honorable matter.
Regretting that the honorable gentlemen
representing the Saltwater Precinct cannot
carry out the expressed and written will Of
their constituents.
/ remain yours,
F. r. DELANO.
