Tor N ost OF this distance the Buffalo have haen
constantly in sight that they continue for
some twenty-five miles further on-this be-
ing the breadth of the present range, which
has a length Of perhaps thousand miles
and YOU have some approach to an idea Of
their countless millions. l doubt whether
the domestiea,ei horned cattle of the United
States equal the numbers. while they must
fall considerably short in weight of these wild
ones.

~One of the abiest lawyers in Philadel-
phia, in a private note to the editor of the
Press says:
Il always understood the American poli:i-
cal rule TO be that all allegiance to foreign
potentates and powers would be totally re
nounced by adopted citizens; and that it al
ways was the boast of our party that we had
nade that naturalization law, and that we
would maintain it and see It respected" He
adds, Il say this, of course, not in behalf Of
every American, and especially of those who.
if General Cass's doctrine be true. can be re-
captured, and kept from their American
wives and children. because once upon q
time they had been subjects Of King Bornba,
or some other miserable despot in the Old
