| the gentleman from Hamilton, Mr. Flagg, had
| impaired to him Mr.. Scott desire to insult

that, while, they were willing in good brother
hood to their sister southern States, to call ma.
tionaI convention to consider the grievances
complained Of, they were also willing to
abide by and sustain the present constitution

the South TO say that We are satisfied with the con-
stitution Of our country, and that will abide BY
and sustain tsprovisions7 II so then let II be ar
