Next Monday, we think, is the drJ appo;ntcd
by tho Constitution for the counting of the
Presidential vote in Congress, Upon the man

bitter discussion win be engaged in by leading
members of both parties in c Eress, 50 lla, we

in this County as Trial Justice School Teacher
and leading Radical, stole two baics Of Cotton
