date for Speaker, Mr.. Singleton speaking Of
the designs and purposes ofthe South reminded
the Republicans that the chivalrous son of the
South, Jefferson Davis, had been a leader in the
war with Mexico, and that he might again lead
an army; the South would extend into govern
ment, would take possession of and administer
the estates.

the payment of any Coupons without a specia
