son; or if there be exceptions, they are too III
considerable to deserve notice. AT suCh tlne,

,pprecable value. The mistake about Virginia,
originating in the idea that Mr.. Giles was the
oroan Of her opinions, has led to much OF the ex-
re;s which is witnessed in South Carolina"

lies as were out of town, and their houses shut
ip when Mr. ). called at them; and, perhaps,
anne other trif1ing alterations, something
Snort of sirty one thousand. This number is not
70 great by four or five thousand as was general
i .y calculated upon: Some persons have even es-
Nnated our population at 10000 souls. 1t APP
