dear old forum that the eoquen of the great and loved
Of the nation first touched the hearts of the people, and
IL WAS here that those which have contributed
much to the honor and prosperity of the Union
ccved the sanction OF the immediate representatives Of
the people. Whether not the removal from the old
the new hall will enhance the importance Of the popu
lar branch Of Congress- quite certain the old members
love the old hall the best for tho crowd Of pleasant
rics associated with it, 1t grand and imposing place
fit for the noble actions performed within its walls
Even the old desks and Chan have something connected
with them real or imaginary that calls forth the ven
