plain to the people.
Koplying, Mr. Payne declared that
;f was a universal custom to ur<iut
lie printing privilege. It was, ho
*aid. more Imperative that the order
pass this session “because ad the
•veeke that has h«>en wa.sted---it is
,wt necessary to say fcow or l»r
whom it has been wasted. The
Democrats, he aontended, . would
have the same opportunity to print
“speechos” that could not l>e ans
