ed here after the final adjournment, but with a limitation, that the
said order shall not operate after the 1st of June.

The work cannot be finished by that time. Those who know
my position and circumstances understand that I have every mo-
tive to return home without an hour's unnecessary delay, and no
motive, pecuniary or otherwise, to protract my sojourn in this city.
From a desire not to renew the controversy which had arisen upon
the subject of my compensation, I consented, in reply to an en-
quiry from the committee on Printing, to abandon my weekly al-
lowance during the period of my detention.

But, I know of no principle upon which I am to be compelled
to remain here, in the service of the State, without, at least, the
payment of my expenses. And I respectfully ask the Convention
to reconsider its decision of this morning.
