The most bigoted, Jealous, grasping,

fluence which ever cursed nation has
been the political power of African slavery.
The deadly foe to all progress and improve

contrary is true, that certain politicians

Mr.. S. H. W. Ward, Neg York:
SIR: have received letter from your
iouse notifying me that yon paid the

"A moments reflection will satisfy you
that that is the Express Oompany's bust

Fourth. The notes here are SO much be-
low par that would be ashamed to send
you one. As for gold dollars, have lost
all faith in their existence; and silver dol.

a draft
Fifth. am not sending dollars around
