in our hrsl prospectus, we have htteu OUT
The 81 tcayune" Tor more distant voyages
and lrelghled her with all sorts oil nollons

success attends her which she has mel

. who cruise under the Otack fias-who op'
pose slavery because they are themselves
the slaves OF ignorance and superstition
who pretend to rub clean the upper decks
of their neighbors with hofy stone-we
say look out for breakers.
To Hotel keepers we recommend our
paper; in every engagement her cohlman-
der will be hrst to lead on the 6OdrderS!
