by Ex-Governor Shorter, of Alabama:

the condemnation of all who have regard
for the common welfare of our common

parties in pursuit of the william, and to-
wards nightfall he was caught near the
scene Of his crime, and taken to Piscata-
way, where he is now chained to another

it, and the rag found corresponds with the
piece torn off. He lived with NJ. Adams
