but before Sunday morning the clouds
came with rain. Although the weather
has continued cold and raw for three days,
no bad effects have followed to the crops
of fruit or grain.

three weeks in advance of ordinary sea-
sons. II is by far the earliest season

his denial Of the charge which, he
says, has been made 80 often that be

that in 1860 he was one Of the few
who believed that secession would

no one more positively held than
himself that "the coercion ola State
by the Federal Government was the
most palatable violation Of the com

so not having been given in the Con-
stitution, but expressly denied by
the Convention which framed that
