has watched for the joinping of the cat, and we were
watching It. We said that we should ass it become

We deem it a moral offence io any man or any worn

have ourselves the merit of having supplanted it in
hundreds of cases; and we call upon all those who ate

interests of the country, to co-operate with es in the
performance of what we deem a inosteacred duty. As
we observed before, this print sever NM an original

We have frequently, when we bare been desirous of
making comparison, in order to get the best inform-
ation possible, examined this Old Times newspaper.
and have almost in every case found it so confused
and unintelligible as to be of no use to us. The per-

impossible to do justice to any debate. Nor can we
