Putty, OILS, Paints, Books and
Stationery ever brought into this
market. They are good men to

The following extract from speech
delivered by Hon. Lyman Tremain IN
the Legislature of N. Y. is step in
the right direction. We are Glad to
see such men in council with their fell

been with Indignation and pain that I have
heard rumors OF threatened mob law directed
against citizens or newspapers tor the free
expression of their sentiments. He is an en-
envy of public welfare who suggests or sane
ton such sentiments, and should be mark

most cases, presume, if you examine his
history, you will find that in other times he
has been the most blatant advocate for Free
Speech ard Free Press Never was there
greater necessity for preserving this freedom
