Such demeanor of the natives towards the emf.
Rrsnts deserves condemn ation and as they will not
listen to the voice of reason AMI right, there re.
mains but ons way to bring them TO reason, which
is the most GERS BILE ope-to touch them on the

Certsinly, the capitalists Of Germany have taken
the best means to revenge the oppression to which

Americans should place themselves in the same
point of view with their transatlantic cOuntrymen,
and with hem annihilate the "Know Nothing

In ST. Louis they seem also resolved to apply this

sale of Land, which took place there, there was not

You iDjuIe us to the amount Of many Thousands

your land at high rates, and contribute with our
wealth, while you try to diminish cur profits?
