The Second Chamber has accepted, by a majority of 176 against 139, the Frankfort coos itstion, and repudiates all modes of altering it except that which is laid down in one of its own articles. The ministers have therefore suffered a complete defeat upon l the most vital question. I send you below the decla ration of the ministry, read by Brandetbarg, in an swer to the motion of Rodbertus, whose fiord para graph embodies the principle enunciated above. The at is out of the bag at last. Count Branden burg ban had mercy upon the impatience of the world, and spoken out upon the German question. His con fession confirms fully the opinion I have so often exprt seed in previous letters, that no agreement was possible between Frankfort and Berlin under present After the report upon Rodbertue motion had been reed by Vitiate, the President of the Council rase, amid the deepest silence, and spoke thee: The premiss; was aware with whit aludety the meats" looked to the foal eels ios of this question, sad was pre pared to give fall lasatiras. lie would read the highly important deemed which he held is kis head :—l. The government of his majesty is coeseins that it hes cot ahaa dosed the pally bill dews in the cotes of Jas. 23 sad Feb. 11, and that It its resisheil true to the same coarse in the sots of the 3rd et this math. 2 The goverment of his m .jirty has ever haebeeroll the lively wish to unite all Ora rase states to a Baran Neat, but Mb painfully that sera an saes is, os secoustal leseporable sheaths, he the present moment 'reparable, sapless the dreeplisa el its owe hopes ; the govern meat , howerar, fen Iras esairedistios with the dralaratioes pees In the eirasher, if, wader the era cratatratess which prevail, it atowebel say trap, leakiest its exertions towards the cousuamehea of a Renews Ilisadas- Bora 3.

The esesti dew, ea the emceed reading, underwent fresh aboadoes, which use Nay be designated as fa the highest degree pejo'. disial. Them defects are of so prepooderatiag a kind, that the nisistry Bads itself usable to recoomead to his majesty the easoralitiosal seeepanes of the cooratatioa. Gentle. ass, mostime has Mee nails (lithe mObt of public opleiwa I mknowledge matpletely this might, Mt ender present sir. ousultraces I regard it setts might of the eleaseats is teat persons modes about the ship of the state. The skip meet sot be &Modeled to the raging sad stermiag of the el.meats, to drive pilotless over theses cad and no feat isooriage. No, we will never do nib, raver, sever, never! The motion of Rodbertne, in the debate upon which the above declaration was read, proposed that the chamber should declare in favour of the acceptance of the Frankfort constitution, and of the imperial crown by the King of Prussia, upon the around of the eonstitution. line urgency of this moo tion, which was thrown out by the central committee, was, after speeches by Rodbertus and Camphaosen, carried in the house by a majority of 218 to 113. Tae report of the committer , read by Vincke, disapproves the course marked out by ministers in the note of April 3rd as regards the scoeptarce of the German crown by the king upon the base of the constitution , and under suppositiou of the consent of the (Abe; German struts, as the only way of saving Oranutty ; and expresses a desire that a course may be adopted, with attention to present circumstances, calculated to', lead to this result. I think it would be a mistake to impute this result to any political opinion on the part of the minister*. The ministers, I believe, are guiltless of any decided views upon questiors in which decision is of importance. It is to be noted that, in the first paragraph of the ministerial explanation, the note of the 11th of March is disavowed. This is another of the symptoms wMch hive ap peared of lets ind'eative of the isolated position of Count Arnim in the cabinet. An ordinary ministe would not hesitate to resign in the face of such an affront; but ordinary rules are not applicable to Count Arnim, who is still loss his oe n master thin the other ministers. There is a contradiction of importacce between the reports of Brandenburgh's answer to Rodbertus' motion. The close of the second paragraph is given, accardiog to theversion of the Kammer Zettunq, thus: The government would, however, deem itself is rostra • n with the wishes exprorat in the unarm of b,ttt chambers to the royal speech lilt gars up, in the face of present circumstances, its endeavours to arrive at a narrower Beedrasteat. The official report, which has not yet appeired, will clear up this de crepanoy to-marrow. Teo Br es lau l inen publish a royal dec'ee of the 14th inst., approving and confirming the suspension of the Breslau biirgherwher by Von Schleittitz, the governor of Silesia, on the 22nd of March. I n ed hardly say that the speech of Brandenburg made the deepest sensation in the chamber. One sines " bravo was le and on the right. The result of the sitting, which terminated between five and six, was the carrying of the third paragraph of the motion of Rodber tits, which is thus expressed: That, on the contrary, the chamber on its pert minimises the cur ritution completed by the German Netball Assem bly as legally valid (reckerageg), and cherishes the sostvie• ties that 'heretics of the sane is only edmiesible is the way provided for is the 'mediation itself. All the amendments of all sides were rejected; and the net result of this impntsat sitting was the az oeptanos of the above resdutiou. The concluding words of Brandenburg must be interpreted as an expressed intention of the ministry to continue in office. They will therefore be obliged to dissolve or peoragoe the chamber'. Is that ease we may lo'k shortly for barricades. There is one solution of this question which stems to me highly ge a bible, and mach mare: perhaps than any one in es—l mean the abdication of the king.

Lord BEAUMONT moved that the petitions of William Chadwick and John Mariner, apologising for their disobe dience of the orders of the house, expressing their contrition, end praying to be released from custody, might be taken into consideration. After a few words from Lard Monteagle, Barl Grey, and Lord Brougham, _ _ The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said be did not object to the motion. He thought the noble lord (Monies*le) was entitled to the thanks of their Indships, for the manner in which he had taken this matter ups. an individual pmt. If he had sot done so, it would have been the duty of the in terfered.

The E•ri of DEVON inquired whether the report of Cap tain Lamm, with reference to union end electoral cavities*, was to be treated as waste paper, or whether the noon mendacious contained in it would be meted ern ? - - - The Marquis et LANSDOWNE said a measure would be introduced on the subject. He was not pi...pared to say exactly what it would be ; but, generally spcskir g, be 'night state that it would embady the sense of the report to wLich the aoble earl referred. THE RIVER PLATE. The Earl of HARROWBY then brought forward his motion respectieg the state of our relations with the River Plate. Auy pawn who undertook to deal with the question must Sod himself in some embirrosment, which could only be cleared away by the motion he was shout to make. That embarrassment arose from the fast that since the last authentic informsties had bees laid an the table of that house as to the mode of dealing this esestry meant to assume with ward to the states bordering ea the River Plate—that since that period, in 1846, they had received ao official information of what was going on. They had then, on the part of the noble iced, the late Secretary for Foreign Affairs, a full and frank statement of the policy this country was about to pursue with regard to the River Plate. Sion' that period they had had no los than three formal missions and two icemen communicatioos with the Argentina Con federation, represented by he president, Roan They had not, however, the slightest knowledge, except by irregular communication, of the policy the pre sent government bad been pursuing since 1846. All those ocsofatlous rapidly succeeded each other, and therefore almost perplexed the imagination. In 1846 the state of affairs was this : Os the put of this government and France representatives were sent oat to mediate arrangements between the governments of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. That minion was unsuccessful, bat they bad yet to lean the cease. After that Mr. Hood, the late consul at Monte Vi deo, was sent out to carry on the negotiations. In the fol lowing year Lord Howden went out with a French envoy, in order to cuter into fresh negotiations, and to endeavour to effect some settlement of the differences of the Argentine Confederation and the nvensment of Monte Video. That endeavour was equally unsuccessful se the former can sod was followed by a similar attempt on the part of Csain. Gore, and a minor needed= ea the part of Mr. Thomas Rood, the son of Mr. Rood, the Sumer consul at Monte Video. Both these minions, however, and at the present moment another envoy had ben sent oat. Mr. Southern had gone to undertake the manage ment of the affair, and all they knew of his success at moist was that he bad not been admitted as oar minister by the president of the Argentine Confederation, but with tolerable civility haft been allowed to reside in a private aboste. Alia ppearsaos there, however, had afforded antral Baas an aptininnity of holding language with regard to the British =llbet mesh ad never been heard of bekre. He ll se hw simply pine the house a skeleton of what was Junes es the subject, because with regard to all this the, hod se nand information. They knew that envoys had ham nag, but they had no knowledge of the instructions tibiae ~teasy had acted, and had been unsuccessful. All they knew was that the representwives of the two MSS ?mortal nations in Bernie had been treated with llghieetty and contempt by the president of the Argentine emolaisradon, and the crown of England had been treated with a degree of indignity te which it had never Ukase bum eulijeeted ta this state of tbinp they ought to have some dadalts information. In the message of General Roses, which reached this country a few days ago. he enlarged at considerable length on the state of the negotiations with this country. Hitherto the governments of England and France had meted in harmoey, end that harmony wee their strength ; bat mettle puma meaust it was at an sad. (The legate mei mad tethreells teens the speech of Rout but in too loft a Mae lobe heard in the gallery.] Lord Bowden, after his n left Nunes Ayres dissatisfied. He went to Monte V to the camp of General Oahe, and communi cated the teems of ea armistice which had been altered, and, in feet, dictated by their =mks, and which they felt bound to reject, upon width Lead Howden at once announced that his intervention was at an end, sad wrote to the commodore tonne the blockade, the very means which had been deemed meet advisable by the Blida government to be adopted in elder la bring about an arrangement between the coound ins pasties.

(Hear, beer.) What was the malt at the freeent moment ? Why that se pence trading to that country had the slightest idea of the coarse which our goverment were pursuing. Al! they knew was that two of the most powerful governments ia Europe had declared their deternination to pat an end to the war in the River Plate and Rows bad defeated them at every point The modification of the armistice proposed by , Resat and the non-acceptance of which by General Oribe I led to the raking of the blockade, were, he understood, the preliminary tents on which her Majesty's representative I woo to be permitted to present his credentials. He would ask, then, were we to humble eurselves before this trans. atlantic sat ? Were we to agree to the terms proposed 41m—the payment of two millioes rilitlittLfor VIA useseell _by tin Buenos Ayrean getiernant, up teem Falkland Island., ankthe other propositiv wh he' ind - made ?He thought we were entitled, to k now is what pashba oar interests were placed at this moment.

The value of • single convoy_sp the widen or the River Plate was 1.600,0061. 'This was an entirely new aurae of weeltb, and if it was anormaged, the made of *sae waters would flow into the coffees of the of Manchester and Liverpool. (Hear.) The earl otesindel by moving for copies or extracts of all Mdewstisms given to her lisjetty's envoys in the River PIM., he theirguidance in the intervention et Gnat Britain he the of stein in that river. The M iia of LANSDOWNE said that although be I hit to object to the erotica, ha emailispmed to e ... 211 informatme in his power ea the welded. eh& he Wwhoa la had explained the siltation elf the pinks at itOmeet, the noble lard would see that it was entirely different from the poehion in which they were in when the Inoble earl (Aberdeen) formerly communicated the instrue- 1 them which he had gives. He was prepared to state that se relations were now pending, sad they rested essentially . upon Die terms contained not only in Instructions recently anted but also upon thole of the noble earl (Aberdeen). The I noble earl who had made this melon was not quite so unto formed as he teemed to be, and he approved of the been Lid down at the time he referred to for negotiations. He might add, that the negotiations now pending had recently assumed a very premixing upect. (Hear, hear.) It was tree that there were certain qualification imposed by the tine government, but they did not go to the extent the noble earl supposed. Mr. Oeseley was sent out to*. River Plata in January, 1845, and carried on a system aspirations which were disapproved of by the noble earl then at the head of the foreign uepartment, end his successor. Therefore, when the instructions sent to lie Otaseley were very prooerly laid before parliament, no negotiations had atonally been made. In May, 1646, Mr. flood wee sent out, but was not able to bring mature to a satisfactory ounclosion. It was certainly true that Lord Howden and Count Walowski also subsequently failed in their negotiations, owing to the deter mination of the government of Monte Video not to agree to certain points. The noble earl seemed to doubt whether the conduct of Lord Howden had been approved by her Majes ty's government He only wished the noble lord was there to state why he had raised the blockade. If he had been, tea would have given some very satisfactory reasons. The blockade wes raised for the *unfit of the trade of Buenos Ayres and Eastland, and which the government of this coun try were cot justified in suspending whoa the necessity for suspension no longer existed. The *telt was undoubtedly unfortunate as regarded the interests of certain parties in Monte Video, depriving them of the advantages of a system of smuggling which bad been established by means of a cir cuitous *rime, which he had no doubt they were exceedingly loth to loot. (Hear, hear.) He could sot but consider, how ever, that a direct Ecglisti trade with Buenos Ayres wee a matter of great importance. He would not, is replying to the noble earl, make any remark nom the principles of the government et General Rotas ; but this he would soy, for the whereon's of those who bad instructed the noble earl, that at no previous ;it riod had the trade with this country been carried on in a more ben, finial manner than it was now, ender the authority of that pi non whom the noble earl ha deeeribed r adverse to European gnu:ion It wee true Mtilenthent had not been lima* nesterd es she =delete.. of this country at Buenos Ayres ; but the proper time (or receiving him in that co acil would be when the treaty had been actually concluded. In the meantime, as if for the purpose of testifying revert for the government of this country on the part of General Rosati, there was no sort of 'mend honour that could be paid to Mr. Southern, whether in the made of' his landing, the mode of receiving him, of bodging him, or of communicating with him, which had not been manifest. d towards that Needleman, when known lobe commlssicned by her Blejesty's government. (Hear, beer.) The noble ear l had averted to a speech recently made by General Roses to his courted or parliament. He scald not but thick that the noble earl overrated the im portance of such an address. It was from the direct commu nications of General Roue himself that his intentions were to he inferred; and, judging from those communications, ha could not fail to perceive indications of a desire to come to • satisfactory arrangement with this country. Some sacrifices must certainly be made on both aides. It would be addi tional satisfaction to her Majeure government, if, at the same time that they concluded a convention on behalf of this country, the French government, whose case was somewhat ehfferent, should elso be able to *include one. Mr. Southern and the representative of Francubed been en gaged in the most amicable communiestioas ;Ted though the object now aimed at • joint treaty, yet he trued that the se parate treaties into which each power might enter would be of such a nature that neither would have the least reason te complain. On the whole, he einfidently hoped that there would be a happy termination of negotiations in which he speed with the noble earl the commercial interests of this country were deeply involved. Lord BEAUMONT said that if the noble earl wished really to unravel the thread of his story he must en back to the com mencement of the enterference ; sad if he did that,,dle would see ground for astonishment in the pruspectof escaping from their difficulties. Lord I.OLCHESTER thought the great error which had been committed teas that of WA looking simply to the in tenets of this country. In the position in which France stood in relation to Brasil she could not pseeibly act as a me diator.: England lad previously always been on friendly terms with the country to which she found herself opposed ; but France had beea sn e different position and it was with great satisfaction that be learned that Engl and was now seek ing to obtain a stomata treaty. On examination it would be Wand that Lord Howden had failed merely because Finch interests had been Named up with English. After a few words from the Berl of LIARAOwn't in reply, the motion was withdrawn. The house then adjourned, at half-peat 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDA; APRIL 23.

PAHINGTON, in movi ig the second reefing of this bill, took ocessbn to cot sure the pretties of private canvassing, which was so prevalent in both h uses of parla ment—a practlee which he eannde red to be alike unconsti tutional and inexpedient for the real interests of the country. This practice bad been resort. d w in the ease of the present bill, but he hoped that its effect had tot been to divert the ' attention of the house from the real merits of the 04. o.iposition to the measure oat of doors in various quseels bad been most actively purette4, and he deeply regretted to have it to Ray that Capt. Bethune sad Capt. Vetch, of the Bernier, who had been sent by the Admi ralty to insp ect the Severn navigation in relation to this measure ' had not conducted their Investiga Sons with that impartislity which they were boned on all such music= to exhibit. Capt. BERKELEY said it was out of the question to sup pose thattapt. Bethune or,Capt. Vetch could have been in fluenced by any sinister motives in the conduct thy had pursued. He opposed the bill on public around*. because the mane of so•ealkd improvements which it contemplated wee eateniatei to lejare the general navigation of the Berets. He sieved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. CLIVE said that on the part of the principal traders of the &tern he should decidedly oppom the Mr. FOLEY iupPortsd the WI. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that be should vote for the bill, thinking that it ought to go before a oommittee. He had dons so lost year, and Le thought that the (sliest course. Mr. HUME, amidst trod cies of divide, expressed his surprise at the right hon. gentleman's conduct in voting against the deliberate report of two of the commotion.= appointed by ibis own goverment to exegetes into the matt-r. The retort of those officers was deeidedl) 'gains: the bill, u thew stated it would shut out the tide for sixteen miles of the river, whereby 14,000,000 cubic feet of water would be prevented every tide from washin the shores of the river at Gkuceater. Re should y vote spinet the bill. Sir P. BARING said that tl.e commisototers appointed by the government had only decided against a part of the bill. There were other parts of the bill which might ad venturously be sent before a committee. Mr. BLANEY opposed the bill. Mr. LITTLETON support rid it. Mr. 0. OGRE expressed his surprise that the government should veto against they•part of their own officers. The part of the bill they objected to contained the whole principle of the bill. After a few werikla reply from Sir J. PAArnavotr, The house divided For the lacend reading Against it The bill wee consequently thrown out. INTERMENTS IN TOWNS AND THE METROPOLIS. Lord DUNCAN asked the right hon. gentleman, the Home Secretary, whether any gsvernment measure was In preparation for the prevention of interments in the ineUo polio ; and also, if so, whether it was intended to extend the • prohibition to provincial towns ? Sir G. GREY said that the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests had chugs of a bill for thepurpme of preventing interments in the metropolfe, but t►at it was not intended to extend Its provisions to provincial towns. He could not state when the bill would be brought in by his noble friend. RATE-IN-AID. In answer to Sir W. BARRON, Lord I. RVIISILL said he did not expect to be able to go on with the Rate in Aid Bill so early as 10 o'clock, but, that if the debate on the naviga tion laws should be adjourned, he should move the order of the day for the home to go into committee on the Rate in Aid Bill at a lour boar. • MR. DUFFY. Sir G. CIRRI, Ia sweet to Mr. Hams whittles: Mr. Duffy, albs had already ►been Died threes times, was to be tried a 'fourth seated that Kr. Daffy had been released on bail on perdition that he *Meld surrender at the next sessions. Mr. Hume thought the repetition of these trials had the appear ance of persecution, sad hoped that some amount of the re potsa attendant upon them would be laid before palliasse s ', IRISH DRAINAGE AND RAILWAYS. Sir W. BARRON asked the noble lard below him when the governmest would fulfil the promise that after Baster the house should hear from him some statement with respect to the adman' for the purposes of arterial drainage end railways in Ireland. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the government had SMOG propositions on the subject of arterial drainage and railways in Ireland to make to the LOW*, but he could not do so mail the Rats in Aid Bill had gone through its stages. NAVIGATION LAWS.—THIRD READING. Mr. LABOUCHERE, in moving the third reading of the bill for the repeal of the nsviteitn ewe, took the opportu nity of stating that he had every meson to believe that a pe tition had been forwarded to him from the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of Meatiest/or for presentation to that house against the nevi adorn laws. It unfortunately happened, however, that the petition intended for him had been for warded to a noble friend of his, whilst a similar petition, in tended for the House of Lord., bad been by mistake for warded to him (Mr. Labouchere.) (A laugh.) Ha bad not had an opportunity of exchanging the petitions ; but ho thought it desirable to mention it at that time in cue the debate should close that evening. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HERMES then rose to move that the bill be reed a third time that day six months. The details of this subject had been already so fully discussed upon former cepasions that he be trusted he should excused from entering on them at this time. They had now done with the evidence upon details which had tilled no less than ten folio volumes, and he should not again attempt to introduce statistics with which all must now to fully acquainted. He must recall the attention of the home however to the vast importance of this subject, nor could he do so in more fitting language than that in which the right hon. gentleman had introduced the measure to the notes of parliament. The right hon. gentleman then said : " The changes which I am about to recommend are of a far more vital and extensive description than any which have been hitherto proposed to parliament. I do not dis guise from myself that these alterations are of a grave and tenons nature, that they go to the very founded,* of what have been hitherto con sidered the navigation laws of this kingdom." (Hear.) Since this. measure was last dimmesd its opponents had had the inestimable advantage of an interval of time—an interval which had tended to show what were the' real eclair and wishes of the people of England with regard to the nauseam laws—an interval which had put an end to the delusion that there was a pressure from without calling for Use repeal of those laws which it wee almost impossible for the minister to resist, and which had afforded •buadeat prooh that the great stream of publie opinion ran quite in awn. teary diration. In that interval, too, they bed received eddalasel kforisation from Canada, the West Indio, Amelia, sad elsewhere. The information from CamKa W less emit este reader it utterly valueless as an argument km theirepeml of %hit warliation laws. The West Indies bad been Wililshun, end the only document produced by the right li vettleauso had been disavowed. In reply to equities from this aseratry, Portugal had declined to give up anything, and beam Sips& we had received no answer. On the part of Amodio, moreover, if they might judge from what had been expressed publicly by the president of that great r a ion, as well as by some of her most en Went statesmen, there was no Intention to give up protection to her mercantile marine. In fact, th.t beautiful structure of reciprocal generosity which the right hon. gentleman tad raised would be found to have been based upon a very sandy fiundetion. (Cheers from the protimtionis:s.) The president of the United Stst s had told them in hie inaugural address that he was prepared to introduce measures for the eneouragemott and protection of agriculture, manufactures, and commtroo in America— s very wise determination, and one well deserving the imitation of an older country. He under stood also that Mr. Webster had declared in • public speech that the advances mule by Mr. Bancroft were not such as were authori ed by the government of the United Seta. A petition had been presented by its chief magistrate against the repeal of the navigation laws, signed by upends of 20,000 indiv:duals, in cluding the nausea or the tersest merchants In the world. Again, Liverpool, nest to London, undoubtedly the greatest menniereiel is immunity in the empire, sent up a letition which he hao hinnelt the honour to present, containing to lees than 47,000 signatures. That wes not all. Ile knew that there might be signatures irregularly obtained, but he knew this, that attached to that petition these were the signatures of not less then 1,000 mercantile firm, of great eminence. A petition in opposition to this had undoubtedly been presented, but how many . signatures of respectable mercantile houses did that content ? 100 instead of 1,000. He spoke this on such authority that he was sure the statement could nut be disputed. In addition to Liver pool there were pe:itiona from Bristol, Newcastle, Hull, Waterford, Bel sat, Suridereed, end Glasgow. What then were the motives for proposing and persevering in a measure of this description ? What were tne moire which should induce the house to set asideall considerations of the peseible danger which might arise from the abolition of these fundamental laws? None, except those which he had e numerated, except the general declaration that it was necessary to carry out the principle of the bill. Was it be elms/ you had made relaxations that you were bound of merman; to Fp. much further ? lie denied that proposition, and asserted that it had no necessary connexion with free trade. He said that the navigation laws cf the kingdom were an exception to the general laws. It had been declared by all authority, and proved by all experience, that notwith standing the degree to which they cen:e in contact with com merce, they were the wisest of our laws, He moved that this bill be read a third time this dog cis months. Mr. ROBINSON wee desirous of seying a few words in voting against the third reading of the bill. He linked open this fall as obi. csieneble, not only hee use ft affteted in juriously the ...hipping iblei est, but ell those who depended upon the building, eqapment, arid navigation of ships. Another objection was his convict on of the extreme danger to which it must expose our nasal rupremaey. He synod with the right hon. gentlemen who seyke last that ell the answer that had been rem feed from fere Lin governments, in reply to the indication of our ministers, was rather discount. mg to the government, than eucourteeng them to persevere. It only amore' ed to this —item rep al your navigeti in laws, thin you may see Ah•t we will de in return. There was no sapless promise that if we would give them the advantages, they would give us anything like reciprocity in their turn, even supposing they had it in their pewee to do so. Teem wu no foreign state which mold give us any advantages commensurate with those which were propertied to be sur rendered by ti,i, bill. If the presumption arising from Mr. Banerott's letter had been acted upon, we should have surren dered the advantages of a partial parte illation in the coasting trade, although the Americans would never have given us any such boon. When it was pelted what good was ex pected by government in endeavourir e e to force a measure like this through psrliement. it was answered that it was necessary in md, r to carry out entin ly the principle of free trade. He thouaht that, from melt csperimce as we had had of thee free grade meanie p ni far Iron their being such as to induce the house to carry them into the shipping interest of tee country, the revere cuett to ha the course adopted. When complaints were mule by the ape cultural interest of the changes that had taken place, the egriculturitts were told that the question had not yet Is en tried, and that Caere were disturbing causes which interfered with the beneficial work ing of the corn-law repeal. lie admitted to a certain ex tent the justice of that argument in favour of calling upon the 'overcome to pines before they carried out their prin ciples any further.
