So the bill is passed and sent TO the Senate
We cannot think that the Senate will take the re-
spcnsibity of defeating, ualess by a direct and
manly vote, measure of such grea, and genera'
general interest. which has been sanctioned by such
an overwhelming majority OF the Immediate rep
gesen,atiyes Of the People.
