"QUERy Where does the F1rainin Press
get its Harper's Ferry news from? Does it
have special correspondent 10 clip from the
Spirit of Jcfsrson."
And now, in the issue Of the Virginia
Press Of October 18th, the Imported editors
Of this vile Radical sheet have the audacity
and brazeuuess to insert the following par

four brothers living who have attained the
ages of these old sires. and although two of
