Mr, Pooi opposed1 tbe reference, saying

tea ranor sniiHmderatoorf. At aoe tonptft,
he gave tbe motives that led to its introduc

idleness of tbe other constitutional Conven

everything but tbe objects that call ml them

against such a high-handed outrage, upon
the freedom of the Press.

Uere by tne coutuisy of tbe t invention,
aud they bad a right to demand the smnc
respect from them that would be due them
under their own roots. He wanted the
Conservatives to understand that the Con

ment of the Tuininoos policy of eotering into
such a proscriptive course. The history of
all Republican liovernnienta dated their
downfall from the commencement of such
legislation. He, Mr. Durham, in giving ut
terance to those patriotic expressions, only
echoed the sentiments of all tbe Conserva
tive gentlemen on tbe floor. In closing his
remarks be made known bis intention again
of entering bis protest upon the record.
Mr. Abbott said a good deal about not
wishing to proscribe any one or muizte the
Press,- he only wanted proper respect paid
to them.
