In Committee of the Whole, Mr. BarcE Il.
Sumtd his remarks, rs follows
Mr.. Chairman, feel That nm apology is d.
10 the Committee for troubling them again ii;
morning Some days ago met with an CT
! nent legal friend. lie SAW That was ia5on.,
under disease. He told me ;hat he knew Il !
reluedy, and advised me to come up to to.
Hall lnd make speech. He said that VIZ:
he WAS troubled with any KIND Of aimen, G:i
p*p;ia or disorder rr :he liver, he s!ws!:
made i; a poiut to ...k: :; two or three hour:
speech, and he found liz It Il complete reEecr
believe, Mr.. Chairman, that this remedy !;
known 10 the legal profession generally, e.: !!
think that they never hesitate 10 Use /, f.:
every class and degree Of disease; for conac:
ailmcnt, a speech Of ore hour; when the css
becomes worse, speech Of 4 day; when IL:
symptoms become uncomfortable, speech &
two days; but, sir, when they venture npca !
| speech Of three days, they arc found 10 be ssI
nearly in urtieulo morris. (Laughter:l
do think, Mr.. Chairman, that grea! Dc!
Of abuse has been unnecessarily expended uF:
this Convention, not only by tie people c! Il:
State, but by the pres Of the State. Th
cause Of our delay has been, think, OWE!
solely to the epidemic which has been Prev
len! in Richmond for the last sixty days.
But, Sir, will offer no more apology, az
