THE EASY SENATOR.
Here, during the summer months
with his broad acres of iron and coal
and the finest masts and spars within
all our knowledge, reaching out for
miles to the right and left before him,
sits our serene and complacent Sena-

the condition Of the Hottentots, while
school houses are two and three miles

We will endeavor in our next letter,
to give the readers Of your paper some
idea Of the workings Of the "West

Your readers, especially your oil pro-

interests Of communities as their own
unrestrained inclination and sublime
will should dictate. Under the delu.
sive plea OF great public bcnelactors,
they had even secured their charter,
and all the legislation necessary to
carry out their damnable programme
was graciously extended by the legis-

and Ohio. That legislation was only
