thought the majority ought TO feel sympathy
enough-but by the way, he asked no sympathy
he would say, generosity enough to gran. little
delay, and allow their opponents an open FIELD, and
a fair fight
| Mr.. Thomas moved TO substitute for the pro-
hibitory bill in the mouon, the bill respecting
swamp lands. He thought that matter of very
great importance. and calling loudly for action
on the part of the Assembly He also insisted that
he was acting in good faith.
Mr. Gray was interested in the swamp land bill
but hoped the motion would not prevail.
Mr. Scott thought Mr.. Donaldson proposition
which had been adopted, was a fair compromise.
and denounced the factious opposition manifested
by certain members. The people were watching
our action with eagle eyes for the passage of this
bull and ne had yet TO learn that it was democratic
TO dispute the will of the majority.
Mr.. Thomas spoke of the snallness OF the ma
Jority. and seemed TO think it was not large enough
TO be respected BY the legislature.
Mr. hnowton thought sound policy demanded
that this bi-the prohibitory law-should be ac-
ted on speedily He went in for the swamp land
bill extensively, but thought of the two, that the
liquor bill was the most important

amendment
