Resolved, Also, that ez taxashcn

Ireland, it is in Kentucky, and that
vile this convenshun has her pocket

woes NY the Lish, it slings teer or
two over the untorchunet black citi-
zens NV this State, who are bein taxed
like thunder, but who aint permitted
to vote Mt all.
Resolved, likewise. That while
moistenln up over the Amerikin citi-
zens NV Irish descent now in prizen in
England, we give down a trihe over
the four Amerikin citizens NV Af-
rlkin descent now in jail in this county,
who wuz imprisoned for no COZ wat

white men who aboozed their wives.
Resolved, moreover, That vile we
condemn Englaud for imprizinin ,

shell prevent the same thing bein done
