THIS CELEBRATED PREfARA-
l. ton, like the Bitters, may be confidently re-

A further proof of the terrible fatality Of diseases
resulting from " common cold" may be seen by O

Extraordinary Legislation.

\ majority of the Assembly have declared
Duncombe not entitled to a seat in the House.
The facts developed are briefly these Duncombe
was born in Connecticut, and in 1917 went to
Canada, swore allegiance TO the Crown, and be-
came q member of the Colonial Parliament. In
1887 he returned to the United States, in which
be has ever since resided, heretofore exercising
all the rights of an American citizen, unquestion-
cd. A majority of the Assembly decide that
having sworn allegiance 20 another power he
ceased 10 be an American citizen. Not having
been born on foreign soil, Duncombe is not per-
mitted The privilege of the naturalization laws;
and, on the whole, poor DR.. Duncombe may
consider himself in q devil Of fix, and should,
we think he permitted to consider himself an
Independent Republic" unless the present
illustrious Assembly will consent to appoint him
provisional government.
So far as we understa tand the case, from the
reported proccedings-and they have been very
full-we esteem the action of the majority strange
and unprecedented; it has been purely arbitrary,
and without the shadow of foregonc example.
1t will be extremely hard to make the people
believe that this most extraordinary act did not
result, entirely, from partisan clanishncss. The
minority submitted report protesting against
The conclusion of the other but the majority
refused to permit its entry on the House journal,
because, as they alleged, the protest contained
Objectionable expressions, and was not, in the
opinion of the majority, true. This, also, is new
rule of legislation 1t was in ths last degree
impolitic; entering the protest on the journals
amounted to nothing, but the violation of an
established right gives the opposition extended
ground on which to base charge of partisan in
iquity, and puts in their hands prodigious club,
with which TO batter the front Of Democracy.
Friends of the party will deplore an occurrence
by which they have gained nothing and pcriled
much.
