Srsss of measure OF such doubtful policy-at
Sssast untiI we can see the effects of such IatI-
n,dinous egslslionin Kentucky and other states
which adopted it. The times are fesrfully bent

the object Of an annual pilgrimage to the Cspi,

Is made upon principles long consecrated BY

government cannot be too cautious Of under
mining the existing securities of private pro-
perty, or Of hastily interfering ia the delicate

Our readers will perceive in another part Of

in ths Lower House upon the subject of Con

tina, have been made by Mr. Colston to ensure
the passage OF the Bill.
