from the speech delivered by Mr. Iverson Dem, Gal
IN Georgia, in which it said that the condition
OF the African slaves of the South was better than
" that OF the white slaves of the North"
Mr.. INVERSION denied the correctness of the report
lie did say that African Slavery improved the cond
ton of the poor white man. but he did not say any,

1850 Massachusetts had three times as many criminals
as there were in the whole South, and this he thought
was due to their legislation. Massachusetts orators
always eulogze that States actions in the Revolution
He read paper TO show that Mr.. Wilson avowed
Abolition sentiments. The services of no State had
been exaggerated much those of Massachusetts.
The other States her equals Suppose that inno

New.Mexico as such as any honest man would give to
his neighbor. Adjourned.
