1enge, and promptly started for the scene ofthe

the honor of q Democrat. When Mr. S. arrived
he called upon Ksihben to arrange the terms Of

which be would allow the discussion, wu for
himself TO choose the subjects to be discussed,
and then speaking upon them himself as long
As be choose, without giving MI. stibolt any op-

Of the country.
