majority OF the community instead of a ma
ljority OF a part of the community should have
taken great pleasure in meeting with my fellow
citizens this day, and in the occasion which called
US together. am utterly opposed TO measure
which commences in violation Of the first and
fundamental principle of republican government
and which, in our Bill Of Rights, we have solemn
iy asserted and proclaimed And am afraid we
shall find, that the friends of this measure in the
present Assembly, instead of promuting the great
cause IN which we have been so long engaged,
have thrown an obstacle IN the way, which it may
be extremely difficult TO remove.
