it best that it should be postponed au bile
until it could be considered and better un
| stood.

the movement and thought it highly i'm
portant
MAJOR Il. S. TUCKER next made a few
remarks stating that he had been misrep
resented in various ways in regard to bis
position in Eastern North Carolina He

ed highly conservative course on the par
of GOV. FOWLE He said that the STATE
