gether and do their duty like men, we predict
for him grand victory in the coming contest. y

bill passed. We see nothing but harm to come
of it, for we know that while it is professed to
be in the interest Of a certain class Of our pop
ulation no good can possibly accrue to them
from this sort of legislation
