il appears that that ilustrious band continues to

that all who have died are not included in it. The

that within the last eight weeks there have been
more assassinatons in the public thoroughfares Of
the Republican city of New Orleans, than, it ven
lures TO assert have occurred in the whole despot
&c empire of brutalized Austria--a nation of fifty
millions Of people-in the last two years; or, in

was the custom to employ professional assassins
in Italy to avenge private wrongs or crafty indi

The republican city of New Orleans is getting

country, from death by violence, is fast giving us
a name throughout Cbristendom not to be coveted
