ing some inaccuracies in the piece, and the
circumstance of our having previously ac- .
cepted an offer of the same nature, we deem

Will the Editor of the "Elkton Press"
have the goodness to inform us of the name
of the animal, OF whether animal or not,
that is caricatured over the Editorial de-
partment of his paper; likewise that over
"the Parterre." or what they were intend
ed to represent! A decision of some mo-
ment rests upon an answer.
Day before yesterday, Michael Mahoney,
of bloody memory was sold by the Sheriff,
from the Jail of this County, for his expenses
1t is the custom when those who are not
black, arc to be sold from the public jail, for
their keeping for some friend of the convict to
step forward and become the purchaser for a
few cents, and setthe purchased free; which
we hear was the case with Mahoney; there

lives look out for HIN, and be on their guard

he please. He that Can murder fellow

stout built fellow: about 5 feet nine inches
high; full face, (for he got fat in prison;)
covering look, and his left eye is deformed,
! and almost white. 1t is expected that he is
no.y in the vicinity of the Canal.
: By late and we believe aathentc ac-
accounts from Texas, we learn that the Mex
lean Government, impressed with proper
| sense of the rights of mankind. has decreed
, that all the slaves in that province shall be
emancipated. Should this information be
, correct,-and we believe the source from

of the Justice and wise policy of its admins

II seen, without any stretch of wisdom or fore
J. sight. that that part of her country border

sesses the advantages of good climate and
s fertile soil, might soon be populated, butnev

&C. early hour the large saloon in the Town Hi

aIl dience ofboth sexes, who, by their fixed atte
er ton, expressed their appreciation OF the views
and the theorist After an agreeable and well spe
two hours and quarter, (during which tin
'n .a MANY new ideas were gained) we returned hon

one sonable, would willingly attend a full course
