spectacle street preacher, the coLstitu-
tional right of freedom of speech.

ner justified his conduct as aforesaid by
any expl anation given. and has failed to
recognize, in any of his communications
to the people OIL the subject, through the
press. the great principle for which we
contend.

treatment Of the large Committee of OLD &
respectable citizens. representatives Of

without the pale of our political princi.
pies.

I. Snellbaker for the future lawful and
constitutional action of the people, when
il opportunity is afforded us. we pledge
ourselves to brand his aforesaid conduct
as traiiorous sacrifice of the principles

would rally itself TO the open and self
declared opponents Of American liberty.
