culariy to this question: "Why should we leave
this country !" Tins, he save, il perhaps tho iirst

II: This il our country by birth. consequently
we are acclnated and in other rerpeots better

our blood has been conmingling iroIa the earliest
DAYS Of this our cosntry. Neither eau we forget and

our choice being our fathers country.
