not venture, in this popitiun, 10 impress
upon your minds any peculiar ideas oi
my own as to what should be the plans

nearly two years ago !s ABOUT to be
thrown to the breeze again. BY common

faithful standard bearers. Amongst all

the judgment of grateful people, more
devoted 10 her cause than these have
been. l congratulate you upon the
changed condition of affairs and upon
the auspicious circumstances that sur.
round you now as compared with those

common decency, let me beseech you to
allow no root of bitterness to spring up
amongst you. Danish from your coun.
