dency OF the famous Mr. Beales who appears be the
most respectable parsonage whom the promoters Of there
fisortaaces i,uegte into joining them. As this
gentleman and his supporters Expressed themselves
greatly delighted with the spectacle before them
we presume they would have regard Il furnishing
fair representation Of the class for whom they profess

posed and OF observing how far the workngmen Of Lon
siderable crowd had certainly collected In Traiscsr
