appears that he has lately been making pretty free

a paper by the bye though deeply engaged in the
opposite politics. is warmly devoted to the interests
of the great west, SO far their improvement and
growth is concerned still keeps this subject before

The Senate has voted an appropriation of 100000

There is no one work, fraught with deeper impor-

while thousands Of dollars annually have been APP
propiated and expended for the benefit of our cast

citizens have to pay in extra freghts enough in the
course Of few seasons to accomplish this work if
their means were only concentrated upon this great
