body; for although generally of the
highest order OF ability their main ar
guments had been anticipated, and the
personal or party influence in the Sem

is not sufficient to more than counter

Hamlin and others came up and ex-

the bill, saying, in effect: You have

Some Northern Democrats appreciate
the force of the argument. There are
others, though, who insist that De
