judge they, are able : to, take care of
themselves. So T will onlyhsnotice
briefly the 9allusion to- Mex. This
bigotted, BLACKBOARD signs the name

appeared that | would drop the edi- 4
tor of the Progress a note in refer

just what they want, the name of

to write for their paper, who will use |
his wnslanguage, and not borrow |
from Brick Pomeroy, and one that |
can be admitted into decent society. |
