Mr.. Newton then asked the indulgence
of the Senate, while he would tTesspAss
ON their patience for few moments, in
order. to giVes his views for opposing the
passage OF this bill. He was opposed TO

the reason that should actuate him in

MI LoudOn said that, as defining po-
siuons had hec0me fashionable, he. too.
