few such men in the South, and wherever
and whenever they dare raise their voices
in such cause, n mark should be put upon

former purity and prosperity, will not be
ohlieratcd or forgotten. In times like these
when honest men hide their faces in shame

hideous derormity.
With singular unanimiiy, and to their
great glory be it spoken, the people Of the

Our hope now is that they have so many
vi,lainous schemes that will conflict with
each other, that they will fail TO peri,

enter in earnest upon that policy IoTnris
