little of public affairs who can believe that what

is only a public faaaqi.
On the whole we consider she Resolutions of the

in Icing language, is, to say the leait of ii, fiighly
indecorous. Such language as some demagogues
have applied to Parliament, if applied to individuals
would irricate almost to a breach of the peace; but
sure we are if the person who used it should, in such
a case, receive a sound beating, he would'aot recover
above one f...-thing daniages from any honest Jury of

No Jacobin clubs ! but on the other hand, no vi-
