being absent from his seat in the House
in the afternoon yesterday, Mr.. Wood

therein made; and from these letters

then read from several ai1idaVits and
reports of testimony before the commit

and that the paper read by Mr.. WOOD
should have no weight in the argu-

read letter from Mr.. Cramer himself tC
