, scheme. We regret tina. the second res
! luton unlike the resolutions of the pr
vious SESSION. seems to imply censure q
those, "who in the exercise OF a rightfi
independence of judgment, hold difFerer
opinions"
/ After several abortive efforts to subst

Mr.. Pettigru offered protest in behalf q
the minority. s.
AS soon as convenient, we have intend
ed to notice the remarks of the Slubberde
Igullion upon Judge Smiths letter. VIZ
have received certificate from the Judge,
admitting that The statement we imputed
to him was made. This certificate, we re.
ceived before the publication of Judge
Smiths letter, and is an extract from the
letter he addressed to Tothill. From the
remarks of Tothill upon his letter, it was
thought he had denied the statement we
imputed to him. AS Tothill had 6ezied
his letter, Judge Smith preferred correct.
ing the misstatement by furnishing US with
an extract from that letter.
