Mr.. WILSON The gentleman has explaine,
and say bis speech is calculated to bring about
and it's legitimate result will be to bring about

The sentiment contained in that paragraph i,
in exact harmony with sentiments embodied il
hundreds and thousands of appeals now beinl
made to the people Of the North BY the gentle
man and his friends. Ihold in my hand q req
