There j. nothing in it Of .'buncombe''
character, nothing written to attract the
attention, especially. of any one class Of
people, but every subject discussed i
treated in the interest Of the people, gem
orally.
No doubt some had the idea that the

for 20 thru>ting the Alabama claims be-

nation TO do u Justice. He Justly recon-
mends that Congress appoint Commission
