dial he was certain, when the Enquirer announ
ced its Intentioa of breaking in upon (he regu
lar order of Dsbate in Convention, publishing
Speeches that were delivered last before those
to which they were replies, that it was about to
perpetrate some sneaking trick. It was even

Randolph's Speech, which preten Is to be n re

Mr. Kilchie was not present at the dinner — j
The idea of a Table Orator is loo much for j
him. We expect to hear, very soon, that Coll.

the ban of tha administration.
