olutloni contendlng, on constitutional grounds
and by the common law of England which has
come down TO us, that a man has a tight to
declare his sentiments here, In order to more
intelligent legislation for ourselves and pos
terity. If the day should ever come when II
would be necessary for him to declare such
sentiments as those Of the gentleman from
Ohio, he would do so, though prison doors and
the Bastllo were ready TO receive him.
Mr.. Colfax rose to move the previous qucs-
tion.
Mr.. Pendlcton appealed to him not to do so,
