students who, ripe in learning, halls
from that highly refined New Eng.

like this correspondence tell US what
must be done with property which
belongs to citizens Of the South who
have been in the army, and who now
have publicly proclaimed themselves
citizens Of the United States? Has
any one besides the loyal and right
full owner any claim to il? Yet he

all they could to destroy forever the
miserable hordes who hail from the
Abolition cline Of New England.
