fully, we have deemed il scarcely worth
while at this late day 10 publish the proceed

port at Thursday noon until its adjourn
menr at Friday noon, Jan. 1st, but when
the concluding portions of the Retrospect"
reached Us yesterday morning in the shape
of five closely written ! ages, we were forced
to succurnb TO the pressure and hold n good
" portion of it over until our next issue. -
Sorry this is thus, but necessity knows no

by defcrring its publication.
