INDIANA STATE SENTINEL.

Gen. W. O Butler and Frank Pierce. Toe following extract from the speech or Gen. Butler at the recent Democratic ratification meeting at Carrollton, Ky., will, we trait, be read with iotereat. Gen. Butler, it will be seen, only errs in one thing. He states thst Gen. Pierce is on the shady aide of fifty. He should have said on the bright side of fifty. And now, gentlemen, permit me to introduce to yon General Franklin Pierce, cur gallant standard bearer. As tha Whigs have never heard of him, I may be pardoned should I occupy a little more time in speaking of bim than I hare devoted to other candidates. He is not a model man "th admirable Crichtont" ed belonz to tue Whig party; on the contrary, ha n a very natural sort of a man a man of the people. He was born and still lives in the good old Democratic State of New Hampshire, and is the son of a revolutionary patriot of that State. Let as examine his hont record mat record which is worth all others ten times told and tee what estimate has been placed upon him by those who had at all times before them a full-length picture of bis whole life. I do not mean to test his merit by what the people of New Hampshire say of him now that be is a candidate ; that might and probably would be ovar-pirtial ; but I intend to test their confidence by the many high t lusts which they reposed in him, and his merits by the manner in which he has discharged those trusts. Genejal Pierce is a lawyer by profession, and at the very outset in his career took a high stand at the bar, and has continued to rise until he is now confessedly i at its very head in his own Stato, and has but lew su rjariors at the bar of the United States court One by one, tie nas lateen in succession tue nignesi Honors oi nia county, his distriot, and his native State save tbe office of Ojvernor, which he declined winding up by his nomination for the Presidency, which has been confirmed by the Democracy of tbe Union. He served, in all, about ten years in Congress, thiee of which were in the Senate, but was compelled to resign his seat in that body in consequence of tbe ill health of his wife. Ho subsequently declined the appointment of the Governor to the same office, as he nid the offer of President Polk to giva him a seat in his cabinet. Such, gentlemen, is the home record of General Pierce, and I present it for the purpose of showing the ooufidence reposed by the people oi New Hampshire in his talents and integrity , and the continuance aud daily increase of that confidence as the best proof that it was not misplaced. He is also able to present a clean southern record, highly importantat the present crisis, and which I beg leave to commend to the special consideration of all my Whig friends. But, say they, be baa no national reputation. Well, he has at least a first-rale foundation en which to build one, and is in a fair way to improve it. At the commencement of the Mexican war, which we all know waa resisted by many of tbe Whig party ia the Sooth, and by nearly alfin the North, Gen. Pierce, then in private life, and with a large and increasing practice at the bar, abandoned his profession, on which he mainly depended for the future support of his family, and volunteered as a private soldier. Mainly by his exertions a New England regiment was soon raised, and he was hosen its colonel. He wa subsequently appointed brigadier general by Mr. Polk, who had served with him ia Congress, and knew how to appreciate his merits. In this latter capacity he served with great credit throughoat the war. Such is the concurrent testimony of the official reports of the commanding generals and hid brothers-in-arms. On his return home, he was presented with a splendid sword by bis native Slate, as a high and enduring testimony of the estimate placed by the people of that State upon his patriotism and his valor. But all this has been of no avail to screen Lim from the tongue and pen of slander. General Pierce, after fighting his way from Vera Crur to the vicinity of the city of Mexico, was much enfeebled by sickness and worn down by toil; still be kept the field, and was engaged in most of tbe hard-fought battles which resulted in tbe storming of that city. After the battle of Confreres, and in parsing from that place to Churubusco, over a field of sharp pointed lava, covering the whole face of the earth many feet deep, and presenting a surface like - I . i : i- i r i : a rough sea, the horse ot General Fierce loll , ana so se riouslv iniured his rider that tbe physicians advised him . to return to camp. Most men wouiu naveuone so wuuout such advice, and a coward wouid not have hesitated. General Pierce preferred sbariag tbe fate of his men, and led them most gallantly into the fight. Bot the proud amrit of the soldier was overcome bv the pain of a mangled body, worn down by disease, and he fainted on ' the field. He also is said to have fainted on another oc casion when there was no danger from the same causes. And these facts have been eagerly seized upon by the unscrupulous of the Whig party to insinuate against him the charge of cowardice. He is sneeringly called the fainting general. But, my word for if, tbese sneerers would be the last osnin the world to imitate bis noble example. I will now, gentlemen, in a few words, give you my opinion of Gen. Pierce, based on an intimacy of near three years in Congress, commencing in I83f. when he was about forty years of age. I heve met with him, but once since he left Congress, and then but for a moment. My remarks will therefore apply to the period of our joint service in that body, though not in the same house. I have said that he is not a model man, and I repeat it. A stranger, on first meeting htm, would be struck with his good-humored, highly intelligent face, slightly indicating the Irish orisin of bis race. Converse with bim half an hour, and you will acknowledge that you have met with i a most acreeabh p-entleman whom you would like to meet again, and your good wishes naturally follow him. Should you lengthen the conversation, and extend its range to almost any general topic, you would not hesitate to pronounce him well informed and highly intellectual. Should you meet him at the Piiident's levee, or in the society of ladies, where a strict observance of the conventionalities ol soeiety is looked for, or at the party of a bachelor, where they are all thrown to the winds, you will find him equally in his element, ready to catch the hue ar.d drink the inspiration ol tbe hour. No osten tation or parade about him. such are the impressions which Gen. Pierce is calculated to make in a general in tercourse in society, fiut to stop here would be to look at the surface only. To appreciate th- man it is necessary to accompany him to the Senate, and hear him address the most enlightened deliberative bedy in the world on some great question of national policy or international law. He is not what is emphatically termed a great orator; still he at once arrests your attention. His manner is cood, his look animated and earnest, his language chaste, flowing, and appropriate. You see that he is not speaking for effect ; that he has some great leading object steadily in Tiew, which be is gradually approaching, and by the most direct line. His positions are all well chosen and clearly defined, and you follow him step by step without effort, and with increasing interest. You have no apprehension that he will fail, for yon discover in him that self-reliance which augurs of success. You discover, too, that be is drawing upon rich and well-arranged tores of classic and political lore, not likely to be exhausted, and the skill and talent to use them to tha l-jst advantage, and when he has taken bis seat you feel convinced that you have listened to a moat masterly argument from a higbly-gifted American statesman, and are not surprised to find that tha Senate and the gallery have been listeners with you. General Pierce is now slightly on tbe shady side of fifty that period which may not inaptly be called the temperate zone of life. Tbe slight frost upon his head haa cooled tbe fervor of his blood, but he baa lent no cold ness to bu heart. He has been an unswerving democrat throughout his political life, and stood firm by General Jackson in all his trials, wben the timid and the timeserver deserted to tha enemy. He has been, too, the architect of bis own fortunessecured every round in the ladder as he mounted and when the voice of the people II assign him to tha topmost round, he will stand selfand erect . London Money Market. Tha London advices with rtspeot to money show a rapid increase. The influx of -gold from Auatralia ia becoming more rapid and regular, far above the shipments of coin to that colony. There was, however, a drain upon the market for railway rails. Tha calls for French railways alone amount to XI ,217.640 sterling, to be paid in all July; which from the ptiblithed accounts is three-fourths of what is wanted for English Railways; tbe amount for which is 1,805,330 sterling, making a total of over 3,000 000 sterling. The Bank of England had acoumulatea on the 26th Jone, an amount of 22,042,683 sterling. Tbe idle or unemployed capital held by the bank, amounts to tbe large sum of 14,244,620 sterling Tbe amount of circulation has, however, of late increased, and stands at the sum of 21,342.55 ste' ling, being lea than tbe amount of bullion it holds. Niagara. Siekneas seams to prevail in tbe Whig party, The Buff. Courier of last evening savs: "Hon. Thomas Corwin left here yesterday for Montreal on accoant of ill health. "Bv'ports current that he did not deem it proper for a Cabinet minister to take part ia prooetdings bat the fact may be relied on, that bis health would not permit of tbe excitement of the celebration."

New Albany and Vincennes Road. The Vincennes Gazette pursuing the course of misrepresentation, entered upon by the Whig press in this canvass, assails the administration of Governor Wright for the manner in which the Public Works have been disposed of by the State, and in particular the New Albany and Vincennes Road. He alleges that "the last year this road was held by the State it yielded her an income of twelve or fourteen thousand dollars; this source of revnnue has been transferred to a few oi the Governor's political favorites in New Albany." The Rashville Republican goes even farther, and asserts that in twenty years the tolls of this road "will amount to eight hundred and forty thousand dollars." Both of these editors well know that the assertions made by them are faint from beginning to end. Let us examine the histo.y of this road from its commencement until the State disposed of it to the Plank Road Company. The road (institutes one of the works built by he State ander her system f Internal Improvements, and cost originally $6S,292,t34, (see Auditor's report 1850, page 48). The State commenced receiving tolls on the road, October 10, 1S40, and continued to receive them until May, 1851, when ibe road was surrendered to the Com pany. The entire amount of tolls collected upon the road for ten years and six months, amounted to $56,299,10, (see Auditor's report Ntl, page 53.) What became of the tolls collected? Not one dollar ever reached the Stat Treasury except $119,00, which was paid over by the Superintendent after the road was surrendered. Douglas Maguire, the present Whig candi

date for Auditor, in his report for 1847, (see Doc. Journal, 1847 and 1848, page 7 ) savs, "no moneys reach the treasury on account of tbe work, as it is all absorb ed in repairs, payment of arrearages and contingent ex penses incident to the management of the road." A::ain the present Auditor, in bis report of 1850, (page 43,) says, "the tolls only are appropriated to the construction, repairs, and contingent expenses of the road." Thus it will be perceivable that all tbe tolls collected upon the road, were appropriated to repairs, expenses, and paying the debts of the road. Did these expenditures keep tha road in repair? Mr. Frazier, the superintendenl of the road, in his report dated October 29, 1847, (see Doc. Journal 1847 and '43, page 326.) says, "that portion of the road extending from Blue River to New Albany, a distance of 23 miles upon which at least two-thirds of tbe travel concentrates, is almost literally worn out, and from the fact that the cost of stone is much higher east of Blu6 River than it is west of it, I feel safe in saying that it would take at least $20,000 to place the road in as good condition as it was eight years ago." "Thus showing the necessity of an expenditure of $20.000 to place tlio road in as good condition as it was when first made." The tolls were all appropriated to repairing and paying the debts against the road, until the winter of 1850 and '51. The load then became so bad that Mr. Eastbam, whose stages ran the road, refused to pay toll, and the State commenced suit against him, which she was glad to compromise. The citizens living along the line of road, unwilling longer to pay toll upon a road in that condition, presented memorials, signed by more than 600 people, to tbe Legislature, as follows: u To the Senate and House of Representatives o( the State of Indiana. The undersigned citizens of said State, living near the New Albany and Vincennes turnpike, state to v Mir honorable bodiea, that said nad for several years has been almost impassable in the winter season. They therefore, petition your honorable bodies, either to make an appropriation sufficient to put said road in repair, or pass a law to have the State abandon the road." These memorials were presented to the House, January 21, 1851, and referred to a committee consisting of members along the line of the road. That committee invited the Senotors on tbe line of the road to meet with them. The committee to whom the petitions were referred, did not believe it was good policy to appropriate money from the State Tieasury to put the road in repair. The State for ten years had tried the experiment, had appropriated every dollar of the tolls to the road, had expended $668,292,64, for which nothing had been received. It would require at least $20,OOo to pat the road in order. If when the road was new the tolls would not keep it in order, was there any prospect when it was worn out, that the $20,000 would ever be repaid ? The committee believed not, nor were the committee willing to abandon the road, according to the praver of the memerialists. There Was a debt of $16,000 due by tha State to citizens who had performed labor upon the road for the payment of which the tolls of the road were pledged. This debt was in the form of scrip issued under an act passed January 31, 1313 The committee, therefore, reported the act which was passed with a few amendments, as it is found in the local laws of 1851, (pagu 201,) which act provides that a, company may be formed to build a plank road upon the rade, but requires the company thus organized, to pay the'outstanding scrip against the road; but said act in its 28th section says, " the State reserves to herself the right at any time after the completion of said road, to purchase said road by paying to said company, the entire cost of constructing and keeping the same in repair, and the amount expended by said company in the redemption of outstanding scrip;" and in section 29, the State reserves to herself, after twenty years the right to redeem said road by paying the appraised value of the improvements made by said company. The bill was reported to the House, and on the 3 1st day of January, 1851, (House Journal page 466,) it passed by a unanimous vote of she House. Tbe bill went to the Senate, and there a full discussion was had upon its merits. And who were the senators who su MID.Vc ported and voted for it? Among others Xichulat Cor'y. pretent Whig candidate for Governor, Joseph G Marthall, late Whig candidate for Governor, EÜis of Knox county, Holloway of Wayne, Knowlton of Ripley, Defrees, brother of the' editor of the Stato Journal, Porter of Harrison, formerly a Whig speaker in tbe House, alTWhigs, (see Senate Journal of 1851, pages 566 and Who were appointed to open the books! The act shows that eleven of the men were Whigs and eight Democrats. After a month's notice of the time and place for tak- : ing the stock was given, and after a full statement bad been published ef all the material provisions of the char ter, the books were opened in three places, and 2040 shares of stock wero taken, of which 1290 shares were taken by Whigs, and 750 shares by Democrats, each share of the amount of $25, making $32,250 stock taken by tbe Whigs, and $18,760 taken by tha Democrats. Now for the amount of money the company has made: They have already built 20 miles of Plank Road, costing them with the rock work done, $33(OO0. What is the - " ' t . i a L- mi i i i ii vamo oi mo siock .iui a snare nas yet tieen soiu lor more than $20. What are the tolls received for the ten I years that tbe State held tbe road? They averaged less than $6,000 per year, and in no year did they reach $9,000, all of which these Whig editors know, but they ; mean to deceive the people. In tho Auditor's report of i nw, ne says the toils lor the nscal year, ending Ot. 31, 1850, are $12.621, 97, bnt be says in addition, this statement embraces the tolls from May, 1849, to Oct. 31, 1850, a period of nearly one and a half years. These tolls are lower under the Plankroad Company, than when held by the State. Haekleman asserts that Mr. Wülard subscribed the principal amount of tbe stock himself. This too is falte. After making every exer- I ti'n to get the stock taken, and being unable to succeed, ! two Whigs, farmers owning a large amount of land near the road, which was ta be improved by the con- I strtiction of the road, agreed to take $10, C00 worth of stock in the road, provided Mr. Willard wonld take $5,000, and further agreed to lend Mr. Willard the money to take his stoclt, which Mr. Willard did. Afterwards the Whiff newspapers, for politiaal eflect, proclaimed that the stock was of great value. Willard took them at their word and sold out ; and does not now own a share. Tha stock is not now worth near what it was last year. Mr. Eastbam has withdrawn his stages from the road, carrying his passengers and mail over the New Albany andSlem Railroad. He formerly paid onetenth of the entire tolls. Now at whose door lies the fault? The Whig party expended $668,292,64 of the people's money, to build a road which never yielded the State but $119.00. Tbey had appropriated all the tolls to keep the road in order ; this was net sufficient. Besides, they had run the road in debt $16,000, and an indignant people demanded that the road should be abandoned, or $20,000 appropriated to put the road in order. Tbe Democracy, with the aid of McCarty, Marshall, Defrees, Ellis, Porter, Knowlton, and Halloway, sold the road, (which had proved to be of no value to tbe 8tate,) for $16,000 leaving tbe State the right to redeem the road at any time by paying the company what they had expended. These are all tbe facts connected ! . l a a . . . ... wun tne nistory oi tne roan, t hese editors know it, but they wilfully tell what they know is nnlrue, for the purpose or deceiving the honest tax payers of Indiana. I 1.1 J Ind. Statesman. Ge. Hihtok skt roa! It is understood that the Whig Administration have sent an agent to California tobring back Gen. Hinton, the fugitive mail depredator. What for? To stamp the Stite for Scott f In every important campaign since 1836, the General haa been tbe ''big gun" of Whiggery, and the absence of his familiar face and voice at the Whig gatherings will no doabt be felt. Tha General is one of 'em. Ashland Union. A letter from Wisconsin to the New Hampshire Patriot, says "They say East that Scott will run well in tbe West.

Louisville Correspondence. Louisville, Ky., August 3, I8b2. Ed. Sehtinil Dear Sir: You will see by the papers, that the election, yesterday, came off very quietly; resulting in the election of a Democratic sheriff, and a Whi "marshal. Party lines were not strictly drawn, but the De nocracy is confident of success at the coming contest. There would not be a shadow of a doubt as to the State of Kentucky going Democratic, if the election were to come off now. Some of the delegates to the Niagara humbug have returned, heartily disgusted with th trickery to create capital for Scott, that was gotten up for that occasion : and have avowed their determination to not vote for this hero of Lundy's Lane. They have been into the greenroom have looked behind the scenes and learned how they manufacture whig thunder. They, poor souls, thought it mast be tbe spontaneous outpouring of the people but how great was their mortification, when they learned that it was ail done by raachinary. One of the longest Whigs in your State has pledged Indiana for Scott, by a large majority. Some of the soft ones have been betting money on his assurances. They'll learn that it is not safe "to put their trust in princes," much less in marthalt. You will see in to-day's Democrat, the refutation of the abolition lie to injure Pierce. What nextf It is fortunate he ow ns no negroes, for if he did, the next

thing would be, that he was burning " F. P." with a red hot brand into their naked flesh, on the bank of Duck river, or some other by-place. It is understood and believed here, that Mr. Clay was opposed to the nomination of Scott, and that neither of his three sons will vote for him. This has been communicated in a confidential ma-mar, and Mr. Clay's most intimate friends tindertood it so and Mr. Clay, had he lived, would never have cast his vote for Winfield Scott. Yours. &c, SINEX. From tbe Christian Record. North Western Christian University. According to the call of the Commissioners, published in our Extra, the Stock-holders in the N. W. C.

Greeley at Niagara. This great gun of Galphin Whiggery and galvanized gormandizer of Graham bread, was at Niagara (good gracious!) and what time he was not sneaking for the Whig candidate and tpitting on tbe Whig platform, he was engaged in manufacturing Roorbacks and sending them home to his paper. Here It a specimen of his veracity and truth: THE WHIGS AT NIAGARA THE LUNDY'S LANE CELEBRATION. Special Dispatch to the N. Y. Tribun: Niagara Falls, July 23. It is estimated by good judges, that 60,000 persons are hero to-day, and that 100,000 have already been on the ground. The cars and boats are constantly crowded. The cars to-night were full inside, on the platforms and on the top, and besides that dirt cars were put on to carry passengers. I he boats are also densely loaded. Hundreds have gone away in private carriages. The military aud some entire delegations are gone. To-night there will be a grand ball in one of the Ohio tents, in which a large number of ladies will participate, There is a full tent of Democrats from Cleveland, who have renounced their party affinities and will go strong for Scott. That will do, Horace! Ten lies in five paragraphs and big lies, too. There has no Whig drunk or sober, dreamed of estimating the crowd over dO.000, and they are ready to compromi:o on 15,000. By all accounts ! we should judge the crowd to range from 10 to 15,000, j including Democrats, visitors at the Falls, and pleasure : seekers generally. The Railroad conductors at Niagara, who had ninetenths of the crowd in their charge, agreed i on an estimate of 12,000 all told. This falls 8,000, ' short of Hoace's story. About that "dance in the i tent''' in which "a large numbet of ladies was to narticiI pate," was a sheer fabrication. Nothing of the kind took place. That last lick, however, is the richest. "A full tent of Democrats from Cleveland all converted to Scott" (!) O Pentecost! What a time they must have had in that tent! We have had search warrants in the hands of our police trying IS) find-these tent converts and not one has been heard of yet. Our Cleveland military say they did not hear the word "Scott" in their encampment. Oh Horace! Horace! Cleveland P. Dealer. Tennessee. The "universal party" is sadly troubled by the recusants in Tennessee. At a recent meeting, it was a drawn game between the Scott and anti-Scott men, and tho meeting adjourned in confusion. Parson Brownlow was present, and made a speech against Scott. A. G. Swan, Attorney General of the State, also made a speech on the same side, showing in the clearest manner the impropriety of che Whigs supporting Scott. In a late number of Parson Brownlow's paper, he has the following: OUR PROSPECTS CHEERING ! A copy of our Whig for the 19th of June has been returned to us, with the following indorsement on the margin i Ma. Brownlow : We could have started a list of 20 subscribers to your paper here, but we are for Scott all the time, and you can just keep your paper wh;re you print it. W. C. DAVIS. We are sorry that we can't agree with you in anything. You are for Scott all the time. We are against him to the bitter end! You direct us to keep our paper where it is printed. Wa will do no such thing, for it is in demand everywhere Week before last, we entered the names of 84 new subscribers on our books; last week we entered 102; and this week, up to the hour of going to press, we have entered 200 names while not ten men have discontinued in all that time. Almost every man writing for the paper, says, "I am an anti-Scott Whig.'1 These are facts which we can show on our books, and by our files of letters, to any who are curious enough to call and examine them. This is a free country, and the masses are not to be driven from the support of an independent Press, by a few selfish leaders. Our weekly issue now is 3600, a circulation no paper could ever boast before in this end of the State. J. S. Hester. We see an effort en the part of some gentlemen in this State to hont down the talented young Senator from Monroe and Biown. After near six months intimate acquaintance With him, and having daily opportunities to observe his coarse as a Representative of the people, it gives us pleasure to say that we believe him to be one of the most able and worthy young men of oar Stale. To his untiring industry the people of the State will be greatly indebted for their new code, and particularly, the friends of reform should be thankful to him for his able efforts in tbe advocacy of the reforms that were so rrsmVh needed in oar laws. Mr. Hester can rest assured that the independant and honorable course he has pur sued, has brought ar und him a host of true friends that will stand by nim when assailed by designing demagogues, who are jealous of his success. Hoed them not friend Hester, their posened darts will fall harmless at your feet, for those who were associated with you during the long aud arduous ses&:on of the Legilature. know that their assaults are false and malignant. Bluffton Banner. Got his Reward. A few weeks before the Whig Convention nominated Gen. Scott, Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky, the Congressman from the Louisville District, came out i.i a lengthy letter, in which he entered largely into an argument to prove the weakness and nnwortbincss of the General, which the writer gave as his reasons why he could not support him. It seems now that Mr. Fillmore was highly pleased with Mr. Marshall's onslaught upon the Whig nominee, for we see it aunouuoed in theLeuisvi I ta Cauritr that tha President has offered him the Chieaa Mission.

Nor need I say that ninety winters and over have not chilled my ardor for my country, and the Democratic republican principles on which it is based; but age and its attendant infirmities deny me anyfurther activities with you in the cause: yet I shali only cease when reason ceases her control, to pray for the preservation, perpetuity, extension and ascendancy of our true principles to the end of time and to earth's utmost bounds. As exponents, and tried and true re presentatives of the.e principles, Pierce and King have j my best wishes, and shall have my vote, should I live to , give one. Respectlullv and faithfully yours, ROBERT BURNET. The reading of thece letters was greeted by tremendous shouts from from the thousands present. Old Jeremiah H. Winne was present in person at the meeting. He fought under Gen. Scott at Lundy's Lane, and lost a leg in the service of his country. He goes in warmly for Pierce and King. The Religious Test in New Hnwpshire. The subjoined extracts from a recent letter of the Hon. Edmund Burke, of New Hampshire, than whom no more reliable witness of the history of political events in that State aould be found, show what party is responsible for the anti-Catholic test in the New Hampshire constitution. It was the Whig party that inserted that intolerant feature in the constitution, and it has been the Whig party that has continued it. And yet the Whig partisans have the audacity to urge the existence of the odious test as an objection to General Pierce, notwithstanding they know that he, together with Judge Woodbury and Senator Atherton, labored with all the force of his eloquence and zeal to have it expunged from the constitution against the pertinacious opposition of the Whigs. This is certainly the extreme ol effrontery. The Constitution of New Hampshire was adopted some 40 years ago, while the Federal party teat in the ascendency in the Stat. It was the the Constitution of the Federal partv, was FRAMED, ADOPTED, and for saMj j NUfl adminittertd by THAT PARTY. All its odious fe. 'tires are the work of the old Federal Party of New Hanip liire. Since the Democratic party have gained the ascendency in that State, repeated efforts have been made to call a convention to alter and reform it. The question has several times been put to the people and voted down the GREAT BODY of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY VOTING IN FAVOR OF A REF'.'RM. and the great body of Xthe Federal (now Whig, Party VOTING against IT. Within tweaty years, the question has been referred to the people no less than three timet, and IN EVERY INSTANCE DEFEATED BY THE FEDERAL PARTY, who, almost to a man, VOTED AGAINST ANY CHANGE in the CONSTITUTION. On the last reference of the question to the people. EVERY DEMOCRATIC PAPER IN THE STATE ADVOCATED an alteration in the Constitution EVERY FEDERAL PAPER OPPOSED IT. Lau.
