TROUBLE The Advocate Judas
appears to be ib trouble, about the mess

extracts on the people for the Message

no more the Governors Message, than

Wha, is there in the Message, that pleas
es ou Pat come, speak out. no sbuf-
fling behind the serene. Is il because
the Governor gives the number Of your
old associate s, that are now in The pen-
i,entiaryl Is it because he goes in for
making Stock holders liable : or is it
because you wish to get back some lost
ibers? But ''the Message is no
