highway. Nothing else, till Congress pass

mind to claim an equitable right to the
highway, as general pasture for the stock
of the landless poor, to the equitable exclu-
sion Of the cattle, sheep, hogs and horses of
the land holder. What say you, my land
less brethren? Think it looks rather mean
in the owners of land, from twenty to fifty
acres, and up to hundreds, to turn their
stock Of cattle, sheep, &C., into the roads,
thereby to cheat the landless out of their
