thus endeavor to excuse themselves to th«* I solution, riz :

route* ol labor, and giv-n directions to Mr
Rurr'tt, fiow and where to proceed, and
that through a country, which we were ap-
prized, Mr. Foltuo had never examined or,
even seen. Under these considerations we
could not feel that respect for Hi
tioosol Mr Fulton, which they would have;
been entitled to, if he h id possess, d 11
