is the only man to do it, and I wish he would do anything that he believes will be for the benefit of the country. Say this from me to him. I said to him: Mr. Treasurer, what can I do? I have got no gold with which to bear the market. It would be a very dangerous experiment to arrest all these men, even if I had the power, anot say whether it is or not. Is it sent to one man or many men? It has all been sent, he replied, from Montreal to the firm of Lyons & Company. Well, Mr. Treasurer, it is evident that the Confederates have got an agent here; have you any idea who he may be? I have not, he replied, unless it is Lyons, for he has bought General, I cannot suggest anything to be done; I don't know what you can do. It is a condition of difficulties beyond my comprehension of any remedy. Well, Mr. Treasurer, if I send to you for any information, please furnish what I want as early as possible.

Some years afterwards I went into Conciliation Hall where O'Connell was arguing for repeal. He lifted from the table a thousand-pound note sent them from New Orleans, and said to be from the slave-holders of that city. Coming to the front of the platform, he said : This is a draft of one thousand pounds from the slave-holders of New Orleans, the unpaid wages of the negro. Mr. Treasurer, I suppose the treasury is empty? The treasurer nodded to show him that it was, and he went on.
