people in the world, except those engaged

TO the excitement occasioucd by Ilaynuu
whipping one women, and contrasted it with
the action of American liayuaus, who whip
women. lie referred then TO kossuth and
the demonstration at his reception. Fred

there are counties or large sections without

United States becomes responsible for her
debt; then il is not the State of Virginia
which was previously in debt, ond contract
cd that debt, independent of the United
States? Again, Slavery exists in the U. :.
Capital, and in other Districts of tho S. IT,,
for which they legslnte; therefore, no other
law can abolish il. Ii exists in the Terrific
rics hy United States law and no other. II is

place laid on his back, aud you sec him hand
out his pocket book TO mere boy; then his
watch, then his rings; would you not say to
him, "why don't you kick that miserable
robber over" But look yonder is II man

other direction, armed in the same manner.
