land we learn the effort will be made 10 enforce
it practically to the hog drivers, 10 abandon

ply OF meat from the source principally relied
upon, would be most seriously and extensively
Gel, in Va and our country friends would do
we'll to cast about them in lime, how TO meet
the consequences. Should ii be really done,
Virginia would learn how to value the recon-
mrndation Of Gov. Giles to prohibit the import
OF Kentucky hogs by duty, and made TO suffer
Tor the insults and want"n misireatment hes
towed upon citizens of Ky. engaged in this
trade in s Carolina and Georgia. Some in
stances Of this mal.rreatment were published in
Southern papers, and fell under our observac
ZION; and i, was calculated to rouse the indig-
patton Of every American, TO see citizens en-
gagged in lawful and honrs pursuits, insulted by
nabobs, assault by MODS, and denied the pri-
vilepe IF taverns and made to sleep in the o.
pen al, bee ause for,ooIh! the government Of
