has made surrender TO the Sswardites OF

Of New York have erected, wherein they
coscsde the right Of discussion to those who,
deprived Of the privilege of talking, would

When this objection comes from the Cal
houa wing Of the Democracy, We have 10 say
that, even If the President, we're responsible
for the surrender Of the Sc called right Of sis
cussisn, it is a right which they are using
more freely than any other set Of mea IN

for them to rip up and sssall the Cempronlse

dissolve the Unioa on account Of II. They
