Recruiting for Massachusetts.

every opportunity to p,ociaim that she is neutral
while she is constantly rendering TO our enemy the

and she has found out way to do it. :" The solid

in other words, with the determination of the white

convinced that the bbok called the New Testament

The determination of the " solid men" to carry
thoir big job" as long I" it will pay' has OF
late been msdo plain in very peculiar way:
and the determination of Great Britain TO afford
all facilities for keeping up the fame, and not
suffering it to expire for want Of fuel, has
likewise been shown. Massachusetts,, it seems,
cannot kidnap negroes enough to exempt all the
"solid men," and the solid men" cannot go to
the war without running the risk Of getting shot.
Fortunately, cxpcdient present, itself which
solves the difficulty without exposing the "solid
men," One Mr.. Julian Allen, who, it seems is a |
