people or any particular section of the
State. before they form their opinions or
p.edge themselves either to support or op-

that Legislative bodies pledge themselves
to support or oppose measure in adj

decided, they assert that if they had wait

denerits brought out in discussion, they
should have east their vote differently, as
acknowledging that they had had voted
against their convictions of duty and
Justice, because they had pledged them
