ing to the patriotism and pride of The
Legislature not to defeat the bill. Mr.

- clared that the Legislature would dc
> itself no credit by declining to furn
ish the Mansion and keep it in repair
Mr.. Watson and Mr. Long, of Colum
bus, favored $1,000, which the latte

lis Railway had virtually confscated tt
oy turnpike on which its road was col
'oi structed. The State had since sold tt
w railroad, but the people of Madison he
~ ~ no means of getting to their coun
l'n seat. There was an implied contra
u' that the State was pledged to give th
40 pu'l,c road. The expenses of the co
( vic were to be paid by the county
40 Madison.
Mr. Sutton argued strongly in fav
