The Message. of the Governor OF the

Published. A letter of George Sullivan
agent in behalf of the claim, to Mr..

Massachusetts,, by the proceedings of
the Legislature of the last year, had
made an apology for her conduct in
1912, remarks as follows:
" ALLOW me here TO repeat, what l
had the honor to state before the COM
mlttee, that the persons zDho 1Oere under
the impression, that Massachusetts has
made an apology, 1cers misinformed, Mas

could make none: for state as such can
commit no offence against the Union;
and there is no party in Massachusetts
who would make concession of princl-

TO the devouring element, besides
Blacksmith shop, situated in the rear,

several barns, &c. sc. Nothing of much
value was saved from either of the

and an adjustment was effected, through
