published in Tcruoai, claiming that We ought
90 take as many city dliics in lieu thereof How
We could 10 il with fourteen dollars, is beyond
cur mathematical calculation. the reason
urged in the matter was that an news in this
state were published in the Burlington papars,

attending them; yet on the other hand they
