which ho had excluded in framing tin

that action had excited suspicion in hi ;

Mr. Townshond ( dom. , 111. ) took tl

the bill hud come to the house ovei
clown on every side had boon brought I
the front to ridicule it ; ovary advocate i
extravagance , every defender of jol
and railroad corporations , had roc
brought forward , taxing their ii
gonuity to the utmost to raise
false clamor against the bill. M
Townahonu continuing , naid ho was m
surprised at the action of the other pii
