Such has been the proceeding of the Wall street gang
in relation TO The late murder at washington. IL was
their only tactique and they have done their pest 10
keep up TO their cue. In it they have been support

English dandiss, who had been sent to Cevenfryey
all respectable PERSONS whose opinions are dictated

now paved isown path to the devil by his comman-

audacity to charge the catastrophe upon Mr. sentoH

say unaccountable; because no man IN his senses
