Mr.. Morris, Of Pc, said that occupying PER

vote on all questions according to his sense Of
duty 10 his country. lie was opposed to all
unnecessary agitation Of the subject Of slavery,
and did not W sh to discuss it unless it came
before hem IN legi, mate manner.
An objection had been urged that Sherman
had signed recommendation for the eircula,

sign it, nor had be read the beck. So far as he
understood it, it was written hy native Of a
southern State, almost exclusively addressed to

If the Republican party could be defeated the
