He said that during the session of the last

mise between the friends of Mr.. Graham and
Mr.. Pool, whereby the latter was chosen to
his present position. He held that this was
no time to violate that compromise, since
neither of the gentlemen had yet been admit
ted to seats in the halls of the National Leg
islature. 1t is true, he said, that Mr.. Pool
is and has been Union man, but he could
say that Mr.. Pool did not favor the Howard
l Amendment. He stands on national ground
and it is too late in the day to snub him Tor
, his conservatism. There are one hundred
members in this assembly, holding like SEN
timents with Mr. Pool. Said Mr.. Russ,
e also am opposed to this amendment. 1 will
never vote for any man who does not consid-
:. er the honor OF his state Of paramount i'm
s portance, or who looks beyond her borders
J., for promotion. We were not represented in
the government, and had no voice in the en-
:. actment of this amendment; and he would
l, never vote for anything which tended to de
grade him and his, you and yours. The Hon
\. John Pool was, when first chosen, considered
the most acceptable of all our delegation. 1
is, therefore, no time now to throw him over
g. board He voted for Gov. Worth and is OPP
posed to the constitutional amendment
Then en- let us act Justly BY him. and elect hin
IS Mr.. PEBBLES nominated Gen M. w. Ransom
He was opposed to making any more conces
~ sions to radicals North or South. We coult
: not repay Gen. Ransom for the wounds re
ceived in defence of his State, but we coult
reward him somewhat with this honor.
