men that giveit to me. There's men that

grades up, up, siep by step, from my sort

Lee, and Howell Cobb, Ben. Hill and
their sort for they are the highest in the

obeyng your laws without hnvin' any
hand in maxim 'em, and we are cut off
from pen ions, and public lands, and you
sold a poor mans still in my county the
other day because he couldn't pay your
tax on some peach brandy he stilled for
his neighbors two years ago /; and soon
| you'll be selling the land for land tax, and
you're trying your best to play the devil
generally but you'll catch it in the long
run. Sec if you don't Talk about Fen
