Th're we were patiently heard in sup- an port of its provisions, and so far as a res- lb poctful consideration of our prnposcions, ^ deserves the expression of gratitude, the ' ton nre entitled to. and have it. But ns freemen, looKing 10 the nit* rests of the State, we had a right to expect some- thing more. We hud expected, and I diiuk he people of the State expected some ii tie gislution, on this subject; and I trus.thni Ti text October the people will write their ?rpcetations of legislation in such characters G hat they will he obeyed. an I have neither time nor inclination to tu d scuss the Report of the Committee of the jU( House of Representatives. That 'will be ^ better done before the people.

To you, friends of temperance, I now to make my appeal.
