The Assembly went into Committee OF the Whole
j. s. HAVENS in the chair, and took up the Gov
ernor's Message.
Mr.. REDDINGTON took the floor and argued

Buffalo platform held to the doctrine is

battles, and thus preventing them from
pursuing their usnal Industrial pursuits, while the
negroes of the South used to produce the corn
