the offence of Bigamy, in the marriage of three differ

though rather degrading question is likely arise

been born slave of colored woman in Annapolis,
and entered into matrimonial alliance with three white
women, the marriage in such cases being according to

that the Of lab lt.es of that Bank the I'd

and loans real estate amounted to Sl30l, 9U9.95.

The Commissioner says The residue of the assets

to quidate the whole amount of the Indebtedness Of
the Bank" This indebtedness exclusive Of cdPita
Stock is stated above. And thus goes the capital OF
that Bank! However, it is an honest institution
compared with the United States Bank, which paid
neither capital nor debts.
And then it must not be forgotten what an immense
amount has been sacrificed by the holders of her paper
in shaving transfers, and dead losses. We are afraiC

GIVE are told that our territory is already too
large, and that dangerous consequences might re-
suit from an extension of dur dominion. How alb
surd is this Our territory too large! Would to
God that it might extend all over the world that
every living creature might find security and repose
beneath the widespread boughs of the tree of
liberty.
But let examine the matter. The following
facts are presented from the best sources:
British empire-area 6, 100000 square miles popu-
lation 200,000,0 900.
Russian empire-area 100000 square miles;
population 75,000,000.
Chinese empire-area 100000 square miles
population 25O,0C0,000.
BrazIl-area 3,00O,000 square miles population
6,00O,G0O.
United States (including 1sras)-area 2,316, 000
