different parts of the Union that paraded
the streets Of Cleveland yesterday, was
an object of general attention and much

tia company was parading the streets,

of their nations birthday. They were
forced to give up the road, and after
wards number of them were shot in
cold blood for even daring to parade.

Land yesterday-CieplaRd Leader.
