Which Is 1t, Geotges
 II sincere do not stay away in far of. bleak and ftcien Wisconsin, where a eoloFed person Is va,a avis, but come home-no, not home; tor you have de. clared New England to be your true home~come to New osleanx, where your residence is, where you were reared and where there arc many coloFed men the peers, ayei the saperiors of Mir.
