That was the bill of that particular day. "The one is the first step"-that is. the legislation-"the other"-the Inquisition-"the last in the career of intolerance." The magnanimous sufferer under this cruel scourge in foreign Regions. must view the Bill as a Beacon on our Coast. warning him to seek some other haven where liberty and philanthrophy in their due extent may offer a more certain repose from his troubles. 10. Because. it will have a like tendency to banish our citizens. The allurements presented by other situations are every day thinning their number. To superadd a fresh motive to emigration. by revoking the liberty which they now enjoy. would be the same species of folly which has dishonoured and depopulated flourishing kingdoms. He knew what he was talking about. did he not? The cream of England came to the United States on this issue.
