while it is true that ey provide for their phys

It seems that MIR. Foss is missionary in behalf of
Bro. Bib" and his fellow fugitves from the land
Of chains" of FIVE years standing, and was actively
engaged in that mission the day and date that he in
dited the SANDER against General Pierce which his
Wing friends South re-echo from his pen with so
much gusto. Mr.. Foss is proud of the fact. that
Bro. Bibb, the refugee from the patriarchal in
sttution' of the South writes him upon his list of
friends" Rev. Mr.. Foss, by all these exhibits has
certainly made out conclusive set of credentials to
the confidence and communion of the Southern whig
party.

it as brisk circulation certain other paragraphs
that have appeared in it's columns:
