There should be some appropriate reccgui-
ton OF this sOrbIl spccn!ation. Nothing oc-
ours to us more fitting, If it were only posi-
Ule, than that the ladies should make il a fur

Of this speculation, it would only require a
( bonus ot a iew thousands more 10 obtain his
consent; and there is not legislature rytant
that would not pass law, unanimously and
gladly to legaIize the change.
