thousand miles in forty-eight hours, and came at

Convention where it would not be necessary 20 eau

Tennessee delegation had been in Libby Prison in
stead of Baltimore. In regard to the South he
wonld say that if the spirit of the South-the

burning. Let the third go with surveyors com
passes and chain. and we will sell out the lands to
pay the expenses of the war and settle the country
with men who will honor this glorious Banner.
