States what it should lie, queen of the seas.
The administration will open its arms to
honest, industrious immigrants, but will

various off-th owings of the old world.

how loud the cries of the bloody shirt
may be, will not pass away until it has
been settled that the people shall not be
disturbed in the rights of citizenship and
until the system of suppression of VOTES
i'll the South shall be abolished.
