remarked that he would proceed to execute the contract, as directed by the resolution. Mr. Johnson, of Richmond, said he had voted for the resolution yesterday, and against reconsideration; but he thought there was some conflict between the letter from the editors of the Enquirer and a resolution adopted some days ago for the employment of a Printer for the Convention.
