difficulty of sustaining a law suit by 9
numerous society as plaintiffs, be
brought his speech to a close. AND
on looking overit from beginning to end
we trace him through a series of blum.
ders to a labyrinth Of difficulties, in
which he was completely lost, and
where, for the present, shall leave
him.
The next speech of the set bears the
name of kREIDER. He sets out in a
very imposing style. 81 rise, Mr..
speaker" says he s'to make few re.
marks on this bill. FIRST, in order to
explain my views, and the principles
which shall govern my actions in rela
ton to it; and secondly to give that in
formation which perhaps is not
generally known" The copy Of the
speech before me is in the Winchester
Republican of the 9th ult.
ln the development Of Athat infor-
nation not generally known" he states
a number OF things among which is the
riot committed ny the Hicksites OH
Ohio Yearly Meeting in 1928, and
for which / should think the inteliig mt
members Of the Iicksite society would
not thank him. he notices the pros-
ecution of several Of their rioters, and
their conviction before the court of
common pleas Of Jefferson county, and
the almost unexampled mildness Of
their sentence which was requested by
Friends, and in which the court fully
and from its own impressions concur
red. And in peculiar manner his at
lention, sympathy and fraterral feel
ing seemed to be directed to one OF
those individuals concerned in that
riot, and who shouted
1uzza for Jackson, when a religious
meeting had been converted into one
Of the most awful scenes of confusion
ever witnessed in a civilized communi-
~; when common decency-the pro-
visions Of law, and the solemnities Of
-elioion were equally dlsregarded. and
aged and estlmaDle men were rlterany
.rodden under foot, or crushed almost
10 death. Whether the eulogium he
on this individual was the
effusion Of congenial feel
.ngs, or as enumeration for aid af-
(orded him in making his speech, OF
in communicating the '@iDformation not
generally KNOWN l shall not pretend
to determine. But one thing is re-
there is some ingenuity
displayed in the choice Of words
in this part Of the speech. Take for
the following expressions:
But sir, he is gentleman Of undoub-
ted talent. and respectable ability"
Now / would ask what combination Of
sounds could he have found in the En-
glish language, which would have been
SD much like respectability as the two
last words in the quotations and yet
not be the thing at all? think, how
ever, that this Ingenious management
ofsounds, was a very unnecessary waste
Of the speakers wit. The individual
alluded to, suspect is more extensive
ly known than the speaker himself.
This is PROFESSIONALLY the case in a
large section Of this end of the state,
and presume it is equally true in 9TH
err places. But had he been disposed
to pay him a sincere compliment, and
instead Of confirming himself to a play
upon words about abilities, he had as
serted that the individual was as much
Of gentleman, and man Of worth as
he was himself, for one, would me-
yer have called the declaration in
question.
lwil now advert back to the argu-
part Of the speech. "The
Society Of Friends says he, sis divi-
ded into two parties; each claiming
to be the Society Of Friends, and
each holding an equal interest, in
proportion to their numbers, in the
stocks, lands and tenements, held in
common The sentiment contained
in this quotation is at variance with le-
gal decisions which stand AZ undispu-
ted authority both in England and
America. 1t is in direct violation of
