by no means happy family and
one remarkable indication of this
fact is the freedom with which che
colored contingent-the bone and
sinew of the party--express them

campaign some of the faithful are
speaking right out IN meeting and
giving their views and stating their
intentions in language so plain and

Guilty IN understanding them. The
spirit of independence is abroad in
the land and it is not confined to

IYolo sabfaI Impossible
que 6fe7a hdIIGdo te hallaras
entire balances, que a veces
p0nen el caletre & raya,
Y a cambio de mil disgustos
y de Vigilias y ansias
dejan fatigado ell cuerpo
y la activldad cansada,
sin esas cosas, que dulces,
5 los sen timientos hablan,
Y bast3n solas & veces
para complacer al alma.
