bic to control, majority of this mum.
ber could not always be present, to
discharge the duties enjoincd upon

appoint the return Judge, so that
each may understand his duty, wher
the time Of action arrives 1t is hoped
that all will take a lively interest il

that has, and will, govern this coun
try according to the Constitution, anc
the laws enacted in harmony there
with, and thereby restore Union anC
prosperity to our distracted country
