Extreme Dsubiosity..

n The following paragraph, which we clip from the
Washington Union of the I'd instant, is calculated to
excite anything but satisfactory emotions in the

If this Democratic administration is not prepared

extract indicates precious little protection will be
afforded American travellers and emgrants. They
