Show n .ADVERTISEllE~T. the citations of a frothy declaimer is sometimes the easiest and most convincing refutation of his speech. If a trace of partisan bias is betrayed in the thread of narrative which partially unites the successive reports, bills, votes, etc., presented in this work, the error is unintentional and regretted. Our purpose was to con1pile a record acceptable and convenient to men of all parties, and which might be consulted and trusted by all. Whatever is original herein is regarded as of no usc or merit, save as a necessary elucidation of the residue. Without apology, therefore, or further explanation, the Text-Book is commended to the favor of the American public. NEW-YORK, Aug"WSt lit, 1860. CONTENTS. • • • PAGE AnoLITION CoNv. at Warsaw, N.
