believed the making of cheap native wine the beet ofan
means for checking ntemperance with the mass OF the
people and he had already seen its effects in this d.
rection in Missouri. He knew too, that the rasng Of
vines was pursuit which could never flourish under
Slavery, and which directly opposed to the whole
method and system of the Shareholders. II 1t could

Without quoting further from the interesting Informs
