not learned. We have an i~nterrogatory
which We would respectfully submit to
Gen. SPISK, the Republican candidate
for Congress in this District in connex-
ion with this matter, aud ask from him
an answer.
Gen. SPHINX was a member of the
Philadelphia Convention in 1856 which
nominated Col. FREMONT. He was one
of six of the delegates who composed
that Convention who voted for a resolu.
iion endorsing the Compromise Measures
of ~1s5o--amoDg the most important of
those measures being the fugitive slave
Law.
Now, as a citizen Of this District we
desire to know of Gen. SPHINX whether
he adheres to the position be occupied in
1856, and whether no is in favor of the
Fugitive slave law enacted in pursuance
of the requirements of the Constitution?
This is a matter in which a large portion
of the people of this District feel more
than an ordinary degree of interest at
this time, and we hope to be favored
with a frank declaration Of the views of
Gen, SPHINX.

The year has lost lis leaves again,

That We may see but Him!

And leave the grains Of faith.
