GREETED that the friends enemies Of the project

row Of figures needs not word OF comment. They
merit the attention OF every mxn who is interested

be disappointed. But if they are, we hope the in
stinet OF seit-Preseryatien, notsg else. will IN
duce them to unite in seeking for saeh aid equity
and law provide against such abuse of power as
that displayed at Albany last winter.
