Mr.. Dennisin hisspcech in Congress-,
IN favour Of the Sedition Law, prodac.
ed q letter Of Mr.. jefferson, dated Pa
ris, August %, 1889; wherein Mr..
Jefferson expressed his wish that the fol-
lowing article should be added to the e.
deral constitution namely The peo-
pie shall not be deprived Of their right 70
speak, towrite, OF otherwise publish any
thing but false facts, Affecting iniuriously
the life, liberty, property, orreputation
Of Others. Now suppose, the moment
after this paragraph was penhed, that
some inspired seer had stood before that
august parsonage and addressed him IN
the following manner :-Great sir, il Is
revealed tome that you win be Presis
