honor and integrity as a merchant and
man, saws that the grand architectural pile
which he dedicated to commerce just one

There are large tracts of land that might be
made to flow with milk and honey and
VINE and oil, and vet there are men who
seem incapable OF approaching the benefits
to be derived from the conquest of these
neglected regions by the same race which

The Gazette, in allusion to the hanging
of murderers in England, says that whei
executions were made private it was be
cause they were regarded as demoraIizins
to the spectators, but the private we're made
public through the highly wrought report:
in the newspapers. where the reporters
