States previously TO the 1st of January, 1851,
and who are unable to pay the same, to remind
them that the acts ct Congress for their relief
will expire in the month of March next; and as
the proofs and exhibits in such cases usually re-

is stimulus TO we'll requited industry, and
ought not to be considered an evil, except in
cases where i, is inappropriate.
