built for our river by the Merchants Steam
Boat Company, Of this town, arrived on Thurs
day, laden with merchandise. She seems wen

within our borders, or which is the same thing,
by passing over with impunity, so gross a
breach of the laws of hospitality. The people
of Louisville are partakers Of the shame and
guilt, if fthey pass over the offence unpunished-
