sides of the House, which should be
equally desirous of attaining that object.
The law se it stood afforded facilities for
the creation of false vote*, and faciliries
for preventing persons who should have
their names on the lists from being put
on. It was impossible to prevent these
evils from time to time, it waa their duty
