and upon cool reflection had determined in his own mind to vote against the resolutions ; he said he was one of the committee of investigation whose characters and motives had been assailed by this pitiful printer ; that he had resolved to pay no sort of attention to the vile aspersions that might appear in this paper called the halifax com piler that as one of that committee ho could say he felt conscious of having dischar ged his duty to his country and to his god ancl as for any thing this printer could say he held it and the printer and his abettors in utter contempt and beneath his notice and the notice of the legislature that he would treat them as he would a puppy daring to bark at him he would disdain to turn upon his heel to kick him that he believed the disgrace intended to attach to others upon this occasion would finally recoil upon the heads of those who deserved it mr baker said that he was surprised at the apathy of the senate ;
