undertook to give them-whieh was that
they should 60 bone and not attempt to

them, moreover, that in his opinion 1t was
then too late to bring forward another bill:
that 1t would only prejudice the new State
in the Senate TO attempt At that late day Of
the session to urge ia passage.
The Commissioners of course did not
take this treacherous advice. They saw
what was meant. III corporation with Nr.
Wiley aud our member OF the lower House,
an other members from other States, they
gotup the present bill, called the Wiley
amendment, and as soon as 1t was canvas.

substi nee Of The amendment WAS the very
thing that was wanted. And after, too,
haViug reported the same thing in almost
ths same words, in his own bill. Ills open
detection in the Senate called down on him
the indignant re6uke Of his colleague aud
two of his fellow.co committeeman. Mr.
Wade first confronted him with bis treach-
cry, and exposed to the Senate and to
tho galleries his insidiOus and IscaEiOt-Iiko
conduct, Atthe risk Of being tedious, but
us necessary TO a thorough understanding
of the deep laid treachery of Garlic, we
reproduce the words With which Mr.. Wade
opened upon him:
N certainly did not intend to take any
