Justly be denounced as :, hypoc11tes

been the curse Of Europe that for many gen

Jewish bankers and though Duncan, sher-

acting upon the same mercensry principles
as the Rothschi1de, they may be deferred By
the voica Of the people from entering upon a

II seems ns though the opponents Of the

with the several private "sings" to put new

make the whole 50 odious that finally nobody

10 account for some things. For instance

from loo and Quas.er to four and

the amount which, the glass men
