to be well founded. Since the retirement of H. s. II.

discovered which he left behind him. covering the
programme of another Gadsden treaty to the extent of

equivalent of thirty millions Of dollars This tract dip

time being but is supposed here that they will be
hard pressed for hard cash to be compelled to send
for Gen. Gadsden, and SELL for what he may choose to
give, at least small slice Of the national SOIL for pre-
