Editors Of The Democrat:
beg the favor Of n small space in The Demo

nell on English protection. England was once
the greatest protection nation in the world
Her methods were direct, and very effective
BY one statute she made the buryng Of any

offense punishable with II fine Of t2.
In Ireland she relentlessly wiped outall wool

Referring to the destruction Of the wooden man
