Mo-, and Rock Hin. s. c. Whatever
the mind OF the commissioners may
have been before with reference to the
choice OF place for holding the next
assembly, the brilliant and oratorical
appeal of Judge w. II. Wallace for
Kansas City carried easily the large

town. When the vote was taken the
result was as follows: Newport News,

That this assembly is opposed to
further agitation at this time of the

included in the report of the committee
on bills and overtures. which reads as
follows:
