pner q substitute modifying the language used in the

General Ruger for special protection Oh their
return home; but not solitary instance Of their being
molesed has occurred will occur and they have been
left entirely alone These silly resolutions were intro

and not by the regular North Carolina delegates They
are intended for abroad.
