was hostile to the interests of labor. He remark
ed upon the observations of some whig members
who appeared to dstrust the Bill because he sup
ported it. Governed as they were by instinct is
their opposition TO Democratic truth, it was fair to

calling for an unequivocal expression from the
direct Representatives of the people The
