you will get into, if we don't devise some plan to

calculated to stir Np dssention snoRg your friends,
ALLEVIATE some of them, and distract the public al

You can't come II If you re-

He never lodged behiud the pillars; overhaul his
Votes and Speeches vixen he was not candidate
for President, and could not have been influenced
by sinister motives. But ii you waat to set any
kindechook traps about these diggins, you may
