That Knglnnd has a better form of govern
ment that of the I'nited Slates. The tllad

the affirmative ami the 1'ark place speakers,
who were Judge Win. lialloway, ('apt. J, T.
Apperson, I'rof. J. W. li ray ami K. F. Ma
ple, represented the negative. Very able
speeches were made by the gentlemen on
both sides, but it seems Unit the lilatlston-
