ton being on the adoption of the substl-
tute.
Mr.. Mckay spoke in its favor some time.
Mr.. Blythe thought that the Convention
had passed an amnesty ordinance. he 1av-
ored peace and harmony, but was opposed
to generating any man from punishment
who had acted under orders, which were
contrary to law. He said that in his portion
of the State minor offences had been already
punished while offences of higher grade
remained untried Let the law be enforced.

could order and peace be restored to our peo-
pie. -,

out January list. 1856, and insert June list,
1866.

ties and perpetratcd outrages. This wasthe
