The preparation Of an extra. IN country Office,
..DsciaIiy in a season like the present. when we
,-e oyerruu with job printing, is not small mat
:. I, requires a good deal of hard work and
A,,dey money In consideration Of our exertions

Following this, is short speech by MIR. Clay,
,rsfac;nr set of resolutions having for their OBJ

powerful faction, who with the army and navy
and money of the nation in their hands, seek to
build their greatness upon its ruins.

certainty about his future COURSE, except the sin.
