fitted for use and ornament are plentiful. Palatable
fruits, spices and medicinal shrubs terminate flourish

opinion that if President Pierce should attempt such
outrageous and yrannical procedures he would raise
q storm which would compel precpitate abandon

sanction policy that brushes directly indirectly
the cause of freedom. The true and honest policy is
that Of complete non-inteyention. The government
of the United States should not interfere while at

tnctly told that they must keep their hands off,
Hands off, is a good motto -embodes very sound
