March 18th. It is a good properly
in a desirable location.
The Methodist Episcopal church
es of Pennsylvania will hold a
Methodist convention at Harris
ourg next October, beginning on
the 22nd, and continuing five days.
The public sympathy for the
Beers may be accounted for on the
ground that even a slave driver, a
slave dealer and slave master has
rights that freemen should respect.
Every time a man drives, or
rides, his horse across the bridge
faster than a walk, he places him
self within the meshes of the law,
and if he escapes fine lis not his
fault.
Work on the new bridge for the
crossing of the Pennsylvania rail-
road at Rockville, 5 miles this side
of Harrisburg will soon begin. The
work will extend through a period
OF two years. Forty eight arches
will be required to span the Sus-
quehanna river. The bridge will
be over 3, 800 feet long. This is six
times as long as the bridge across
the Juniata at Mifflintown.
Isn't it funny that the demo-
Gratis are talking so hard against
expansion when so many of their
own people 60 to the public lands
and take advantage of the republi-
can homestead law to expand
themselves into a first rate farm of
16O acres at a cost of only Sl5, for
title and survey papers. There is
funny inconsistency in denounc-
ing expansion and then turning
practical eXpansiOnist and expand
ing into a large land holder.
This is a free country and one
may express their sympathy as
much as they please, and it is al
together ones own business when
they wish for the success of the
slave-dealing Beers. The average
American citizen has received the
belief that the BOer is an industi-
rOus freeman. The truth is the
BOer is an energetic slave holder,
who makes business of dealing in
slaves and employs the slave in
such pursuits that slavery is the
corner stone of BOreland civiliza-
ton.
