the establishment Of an arsenal and arnory. BY
which the State might manufacture and keep OIL

enlarge the area of public education, and have
extra schools established, wherein white men might

contempt, who would not hold himself ready to
stand BY his State and leave the Union with it,
should the time come when the State could not

party 50, and cling to his State as to the embrace
Of his mother. He added that whenever the Leg
stature, or the people Of the State, might desire
his further views on the great questions Of the
day, he would be willing and glad to meet them.
