Their Object, as stated, is for united de-
fense of our threatened establishments.

pand her trade by retaliatOry duties. She

private agents, &c, for the control of cleo
tions and tariff laws. She will leave no
stone unturned, and must be resisted on

nunciations against them, but take hold

thiZe with the movement for a conven-
tion? Will you aid it and sent a delegate?

action ofthe league"
