 fact that he attempted when Mir. Reed
 was Speaker to secure the reading of q memorial from his State without success | He added:
 q cannot fail to express qualification at the fact that a New England Republican Legislature and New England Repup-
 lican representative are willing. to pre-
 serve a constitution of some sort even f preserved merely as a relic .as a curiosity to excite the patriotism and contemplated admiration of the American people. Laughter.)
