Judge iiaynie is now present. wrote

thing be possible, and am uncompromising.

| 1860. This will show 81 least, whether I
was recruiting for the rebel army. II will
show to this gentleman whether he and I
agreed then. or whether was Union man
then, and be was conceiving treason in his
own heart. [C,ies Of +" He has no heast."
It ia By such men as these that the people
