y LIBERTY OF SPEEcH.-'There is not a city
IN the Union, where respectable public
Hspeaker may not have the privilege of max
Ming speech at the corner Of streets. We
Ettlt mortified and ashamed last week, that
81 respectable stranger from abroad, who
Kpermitted to proceed. Every man Of the
least selfrespect was mortified, that hand
Nful of noisey rowdieS, were allowed to sup
4 press the discussion of Temperance or any
Hother subject, not three of whom own Il fooi
Not ground or have the least sake in the wei
r fare of society. We are not discussing
B The Temperance question. That is quite
kanother affair; if any body disllked to hear
Seen. Riley speak, it was very easy TO stay
Naway. What we dislike, is simply the vile
Aspirit Of rutlianism and sans culotteism
Ethat attempts 20 bully aud beat down logic
Eaud argument, with fist and club. There
Evil yet be reckoning 4, the polls for thai
plays work. Mark that.
