This conduct on the part of the people, arid tL linnacrons
petitious presented nightly, signed by !modal its and by thou-
sands, proved what the general sense of the piropi, was. With

rlon. districts, lie trusted the Report oi-that ef.'11111: t re. auitid

course hail twill adopted in the worst tiint, of our histore„
and for the worst of purposes. lie hoped such It course was
not now to be ailoptt'Cl.
