in Massachusetts, the Barnburning Democrats and the
AbolitionistS are'more powerful than the Wings
and the that coalition in the Legislature beat ust
Nothing more probable; but the thing will not res
there. We shall go before the People with the issue.

connected with the Wings of Kentucky, OF Missouri,
