n the Provisional Congress at Montgomery. Upon the adjournment of that Congress to meet at Richmond, the designated capital of the infant Republic, Mr. Hunter was again chosen as a delegate from the Old Dominion. It will be remembered that Mr. Toombs resigned the portfolio of the State Department and accepted service in the field with the rank of Brigadier-General.

Mr. Lincoln says he does not care what the Supreme Court decides, he will turn us out anyhow. He says this in his debate with the Honorable Senator from Illinois, Mr. Dunlap. I have it before me. He said he would vote against the decision of the Supreme Court. This charge against Mr. Lincoln was never denied
