be produced; that he deplored as much as
any man the state OF things existing here,
but was bound TO maintain the higher law
of the Government over all and every effort
at rebellion; that Captain Mcdonald was
taken prisoner while lending his eounte
nance in the support of an assemblage Of
men whose every act, move and design was
in opposition to the Government of the
United States; that he doubted whether, il
Captain Mcdonald was still held at the
Arsenal, he would be justified in delivering
him up on the demand that had been made
upon him that the whole matter had heen
referred to the authorities at Washington,
and that he shall await, and enGeavoI
strictly to carry out tho instructions he
might receive relative thereto.
Uriel Wright, one Of the counsel fol

portsnt one, which, if decided in the Cham

matt n OF the Governments policy. A
