in. It finds objects for its pursuit and employment

intelligence influence and experience are calledn,
to avert such injustice by using his eioquence in
demonstrating against such encroachments ST the
nation has been forced into war by UNJUST illegal
and oppressive acts Of others, his intellectual en-.
ergy is found giving confidence and support to his
nsulted fellow citizens, while contending for their
ri.hts--if an adjustment of difficulties is offered
by the asgressor, he is found ready to engage in
the plan OF reconciliation, and negutiate peace

We will discover that his days have been spent in

HORRIBLE ASSASSINA

One OF the most horrible instances Of deliberate
assassination that have been called upon to
record, was committed in the vicinity of Albany.
on Monday evening, the particulars Of which we
copy from the papers of that city Of yesterday
morning.
"The victim was Mr. John Whipple, who whilst
writing in back room in the second story Of his
dweling-housc on Cherry Hill, mile below the ci.
ty, between and 10 o'clock at ni-ht, was fred
at through the sash with pistol The ball passed
through and shattered pane of glass, entered the

his lett shoulder, cut one of the principal artcrie.

no pursuit could be made nor was any measures
taken until information was conveyed to the no
lice of the city When he was shot, lie arose from
his seat, exclaimed, My God what was that !,
and made for the door at the head Of the stairs, dc
scended step or two, fell and instantly expired
The wife OF Mr.. w. had been in the room but
moment before, and the next time she saw her hus
band he was liieless corpse Her feelings ma
be easier imagined than described. 1t appears tha
the murderer was deliberate in the prosecution ,
his bloody purpose. lie succeeded, in coming will
in reach OF his victim by climbing the wood shed i

upon by an Administration which came into exls-

glory, Of the country.

therefore, all assertion Of the ne plus utfa OF the

General Government is competent to the collection
Of TOLLS for tic sole purpose Of repairing and pre-
serving a road which has been made at the expense,
and under the authority Of that Government
But that is the e.rtreme tah Of the power, beyond
which we shoald oppose its assertion. The ques
ton at that period, MAY, 1929 and repeatedly
during the six preceding years, had been ably and
deliberately discussed in and out OF Congress-
