Some people have tried 4 con;rivlnce we kn.w

And wish that the Senate would help rne TO kii.
Mr..
Ttat biz, Mr. Speaker, propo'c' to tar
Al who reside IN that county Fairfax,
The gro.gsr Of corn aud hs who grows
lis Syony, Sir, ustice like this should be done:
hfr. +.
A law about wolves, SIr. Speaker, been made
Aud tax on the oountry requesting IT, laid
The wan Who grorcI wool and the man who does NOT
IRE surely involved IN similar lot
The principle here Is the same Sir, trow
lyon TAX ior the wolf, you may tax fof the eror.
A sineieremark, Nj speakcr.-lhe man
Who decent, make corn, eats bread il he
The more that is made, The cheaper he hays
Then doesn't he proh when any crow diesf
The Speaker arose from his chair last
And ask'd IL the bill in his hand should be passed,
And the syes seemed TO have IL he said, by the sound,
And he foes Of the crows how they crowd on the GROUND
Feb.I0
We hasten IN notice error fell IN
Reporting this bill, es'rds MIR. A.
That gentleman moved an amendnentto wit.
II laws on the subject thought at all ft,
Those laws should be general, and each county court
In its wisdom to ,calPlng Of crows, might resort;
lie though that body grave the Senate
Shoud have 2 thing like bill within Il;
ii the bill should 60 through with its oucsded features,
Then year arer yea weshould hear Of these creatures
'rwasb IT III his iul gnent 10 al such blow,
AS would shut up forever the bill Of the crow;
And this was the speech which gave MI. r.
What Fairfax would call it of hurigruGar
He had 40 hjection he said to the bill
As regards other counties what you will
Blt for has county, he wafmly protested
BY bell, book aud indle, # crows were moesfed,
Tie worms there would feaflessly riot and revtl-
All chance Of crop would be cent 60 the deviD
