Congressman Oates of Alabama was
at the Capitol this morning. He says
if the election had taken place month
earlier the electoral vote of his state
and half her congressional delegation
would have been lost; but that the
democrats used that month of grace TO
The best possible advantage, and that

inc among themselves, he says, and the

them at their word, and if they deceive
them they can be trusted no longer.
The moncyed men OF the North should,
Mr.. Oates says, respect the feelings OF

ten 10 Plumb and :}utterworth, and act
cd upon the advice of the same people
who are now opposing III extra session
OF Congress, and look at its fate! The
