South?" I answered, I asked them what did they consider
sympathy, they said they didn't consider that that was their
business; my reply was, "I didn't consider I ever had, that
I had feeling for any person or persons in trouble; what I
considered sympathy, was aiding or abetting directly or in-
directly, and that I had never, done;" while before the Reg-

We held the election under article 2 of the Constitution,
and required the oath there provided,
