ANY man candidly examining the above
section of the bill, would see at once that it
did not refer to mere debt or civil contract.
because IT follows from the language itself
that the bill related to either criminal or penal
offences, and the Objectionable section refer
red To commitments for snch crime or offence.
But when examined in connection with the
above explanation, the whole becomes per-
iecily plain, and the reasons for introducing
such provision perfectly obvious. To men of
upright minds and honesty Of purpose, Gen.
liarIson's vote upon this subjeo, never could
have afforded the semblance of an intention
to Cypress the poor man. But members of
Congress have found in this vote, food for
base calumny, and loul-mouthed Islander has
isiencd upon the miserable garbage. And
after all''whai is the resul, of this mighty ef-
fort OF Van Buren, men, TO show up Gen Har-
nson as an enemy 10 the poor man; for this is
their aim. ioTcibly reminds us OF "a noun

The editor of the Argus has seen these
"white men said into siarory," with bali aud

the Legislature Of 1919. 1t was approved by
the Revisors (of which b. F. Butler was one)
and re-enacted by a Regency Legislature in
1928. Neither It's justice nor its policy has
ever been questioned or impugned.
And yet the Albany Argus assails and cal
umniate Gen Harrison for having voted for a
law precisely similar in its provisions to one
enacted by Benjamin +. Butler and other lea
