Messrs. DUKE and NICHE made earnest
speeches in favor Of the adoption OF the

cu, committee has already been charged
with the investigation OF the subject. be-
fore winch all parties are invited TO come.

signed to withdraw the investigation from
the sight OF the people OF Virginia, and
have it made by secret caucus OF the po-
litcal friends OF the gentleman.
| Mr.. FRAZIER denied that it was secret
caucus.
Mr.. PAYNE then hoped that there would
be a full attendance there OF gentlemen
from his side Of the house.

caucus committee; not the caucus.
