could hardly give an Ineligible synopsis
of their requirements. An exchange says
that persons having anything to do with

themselves acqainted with the provisions Of
the law. Every person who purchases or
gives coin in exchange for grccnbacks, must

For they've always found me willing
To sacrifice for public good,

And tried to split the nation.
It's true my means are rather small, as q
Yet what I gave was freely,
