"You will perceive that some of our

Of inspection was not marked on the

that the seizure was made In bad faith

rReported by Mr.. Henderson.


Mr.. HENDERSON said he arose for the
purpose of giving his views in relation
to the subject that had been presented
TO the consideration of this audience by
the gentleman who has just taken his,
fMr. VIM. Davis.) But before pro-
eeeding to the discussion Of the subject
he would say that he had no apology to
offer-he did not consider that he had
violated airy of the rules of prOPriety in
the part he had acted in c%onnexion with
this debate. He believed that truth, JUS
iice and the welfare Of society demand
ed it. As he and his opponent enter
tanned and had expressed different views
in relation to this subject, in the presence
of many of the same persons, he wish
cd to give them an opportunity of COM
pairing and determining in view Of the
arguments On beth sides at the same time.
He knew, also, that an occasion Of the
present character would bring many to
hear the reasons in favor of temperance
that could be reached in no other way.
Mr.. Fl. said he believed the gentle
man had erplainAd his I'd proposition,
(which was contradictory to the others
as Mr.. D. had published it, in the way
he had permitted him.
