graduation, therefore, to note the quiet

on the Affirmative side as to the right

Governor Evans. of South Carolina, are
disposed to show bad temper and grow

Jsurpation OF Judge Goff."
The Press does gross injustice to the Dis

Tot all the Southern States. had the
right to secede in 1861: for she had as
serted that right In ratifying the Con-

always kept that act of ratification in

The statements made by ''Junius'' are
substantially the same made by we'll
known gentlemen to Governor OFerrall
