law adds 10 per cent TO the existing protection
On cotton and woolens the additional protection afforded
by this will vary from to 10 per cent. The Hart.

Notwithstanding the utter recklessness OF the more

himself in favor of such measures. Among the Demo-
Gratis who condemn the action of the Indiana Delegation
in Congress- is DIR. Ellis of the Indiana Statesman He

project for encouraging the emigration of free blacks

this class of population in Virginia, to raise fund for
their removal 1t hopes thereby to separate the free

Coffee and tropical fruits The superior intelligence and
enterprise Of free coored population over the natives

The Southern Patriot is the title of a paper which
