! operation tue young man that had been bitten
assisted, and by some means received wound
on one Of his hngess, through which the vir-
: ulent blood Of the horse cenmingled with his
, own, and of course repoisoned his whole sys-

IL mittce on federal relations, protested agains
!. such reference, and urged that the matter be
ing new, if should be referred to the commit
n tee Of the whole, where il might be fslly dis
y eussed. Others thought special COMMITTEE
il desirable on account Il the impoftane
l. OF the subject, and others because il hat
t. been sprung upon the Legislatu re and i
As should be considered more carefully and prac

il whole, aud because debate .'could only result
in memorial to Congress-" which coul
10 best be prepared by special committee.
81 Mr.. Pope frankly told his co legislator
~ that the State could make no law upon III
ii subject; that all they could do would be /
rk make an application in Con gress, and such al
Il application would hot be entertained by tina
q body; that with South Carolina it would be a
- question of re opening the slave trade, but on
of Unisn or disunion, and not in disuRio
= from lhe North alone, but from the Sorth also

y special committee, and would dispos,
A. of it by referring it to the oommitteeon coore
