Banner of seriously "condOning the

cOrruptors," are far more guilty OF
wrong than the corrupted, why
does it oppose the party cry, "turn
he rascals out ?"

of collecting samples of such arti-
Giles as their citizens may desire to
have exhibited.

sending forward and making an

All articles properly prepared,
