secretary.
MIR. Dodge, from the committee on the con.
stitution, reported the constitution of the old

fshes. He however was at Chicago, fawning
around, but he was treated as he deserved to

(the Democrats), among them Brady and Dick
insoD, of New York, and had gone over to abo-
Iitionism, proving more rabid than any They
were corrupt men, and the party was better
off without them. The speaker closed by CIV
