 which went bv the name ot the United States. A great race -for

 ever such a piece of flagrant injustice placed on record in the vear

 IM-uiciples of equity much better, and the man who would propose 

 such a cowardly escape from tho natural consequences of being too 

 pig-headed to adopt the beat of cverrthing would be pjointed at 

 with the anger of seom.
