HON. GEORGE II. BRAuaHN
In opening his address he, referred to tho
largo number of paopte who should have been
present at The meeting but who were conspcu
ons Ivy thair absence. They we're OF tha class
who furnished the foundation for tho rebuke

entire country, and people could 20 to the North

future. With deep water at the mouth Of the

As long a. there was fear OF epidemics In this
city the immigration 50 much desired and
needed would never come The emigrant was

main. aud he would never come to place
where he feared that tAe lives of himself and
family would Q In danger.
