1t is to be hoped the meeting on Mon.
day week will be well Acknowledgement that
any business of great Importance will
probably be transacted, further than ap-
pears in the call, but it will be the starting

has to be done, to insure success, we think
all will agree it is time to set about the
work.
We desire TO give our opponents a reg
