sitution in type, and that they could be had earlier
from him than any one else.

he fhonpht fbs n1,,t;n chn,,ll
pass The reason why the laws and journals were
not published was, that the crisis prevented. That
finding himself unable to fulfil his contract, he had
divided the printing, giving it to other offices, who
in their turn failed to fulfil the contrac. in time.
Mr.. Turner said that was the reason it should not
be sent to him. lie had not done the printing here
tofore, and to send this to him would be accumuat
ing work on his hands which he could not perform.

Printer to give his work to any other person. He

Mr. Outlaw said the remarks made by him were
not to censure, but to state fact. The object was
to get the documents in the shortest time. The
Printers to the Convention could do it easiest, and
that to give them this job would not break the
