with the most fulsome and sickening
eulogies of Horace Greeley. and the
most disgracetul and ill-mannered at

that enterprise. We find i'll the Port

who is intimately connected with the
great railroad and canal enterprises OF

YOUR city is nearly AS much interested

of canals and the opening of railroads
to give such facilities for the carrying
of produce from places i'll the West t.
