that as the warm weather approaches tic

be too much occupied with matters OF more

very strongly attracted BY this sentimental

The white people AMI the black people
are getting along very quietly together

wickelncss to stir up bad blood between
them by forcing the colorcd man upon the

thinking men fall sections who care less
about politics than business are beginning
to be disguised with this miserable dema'

enough of the colorcd man with bis wrongs

they are heartily sick ofseeing so much time
