Ut would be heaping infamy upon i'm

which have shaken of the incubus of

What else was expected? One would
suppose that the law makers of the

act Of disfranchising, unjustly, a large
body of citizens and were accordingly
prepared to accept the reduction in
their representation In the Legislative
Department of the general government
