that II will be better for them and their section

such action vii show the North that sectional
feeling 10 the Southern States is fading away,
and that loyaIity is again returning 10 the
breasts OF Southern mcp; also that they will be
gagged By their votes on this question, and that
those who vote for allowing kellogg to retain
his seat will be c!assed as conservative and pa
triotlc. and those who vote to Dust him as Bour
