Mr. BHGHAM, trepl, OF Ohio, repu lated altogether
the that any member by bus speech coad ex

loyal II member roso In his place and,
ON the he journal SG''y Of the House, that NOM
disqualified underline law Of The Union then tha,

presentation OF this STATE. He do I'D AID repudia ed
ihe whole Of IT, and should against It to-day
