operation" sf Virginia, Maryland. and the
District of Columbia. And why nnt of Penn
sylr1nid ard Ohio also? These States are
deeply interested in it and we are warranted,

IN saying TN TIA greater Zeal for the accomplish

The co operation of those two great States
in this object is, it will be seen AT once, of the

States will attend the meeting which is to be
held here in November, where, we venture to
assure them. they will be heartily welcome.
