the Territorial Secretary replied tina
he had no building to offer. Would h
seize a place and bring on clas
between the Executive and Senate an

the right to turn out the Attorney
General or even the Governor.
Mr.. Brown answered with consider
able warmth, that If the Senate ha
this right, 1t had the right also to tur
