ocrat of the strictcst sect, and ex-senator

seat in Congress on the 10th OF Novem-
Der, 1860, on the same day on which the
South Carolina legislature authorized
the banks to suspend specie payment, and
appointed the , st of November rs the
day of humiliation and prayer. At this
time the State flag was waving from all
public places, and the Stars and Stripes
were nowhere to be seen. y. L. Al
drich is also a delegate from the hotbed
of secession. He it was who, while Il
