The rapdity with which her freight and passenger s1

enlist the energies OF this convention will be the opening OIL
direct steam communication with Europe and the greater
dverscalion of home industry As Americans we cannot
but feel in the OF our southern orehren
and most heartily do we bid them God speed.
But there is third feature which as yet has been out
