the school OF Mr.. Martindale, and thinking tha,
slaves are not property, that those taken from

The right TO navigate the waters of the Mississippi

the border navigation of the ST. Lawrence, or
the extension OF certain privileges TO our meritor-

Asto the intimstion of the British Government,
that they had appointed ,w ministers, and expec-
ted Us TO be also represented by two, lift have any

Messfs. Galatin and King, how does it justify the
solitary appointment of Mr.. G . why was it "a

extravaganza IN the government which has already
squandered 10000 dollars in one year on the mis-
