MIA, passed by the last Legislature in It's various
details, was measure Of unParairle iniquity /
and fraud upon the tax payers Of the Common !

ed II, and we sincerely thank the Supreme /

declared, IN an official paper, that they .ould
not vote for Cameron without throwing way
their set-respect and violating their oaths,hev
rallied, to a man, to what they had denoaced

fraud, practlsed by the leaders OF our oppotnts

dileciions !

not and where the fire is not quenched.' .
