In a single district in one of thc counties of Middle

purchasers it will not bo difficult to decide notwith
standing, tho law inhibiting its sale to the “pc-cnliar
institution’' witoutthe ‘-order of tho owner, over
seer, or guardian of free persons ot color.
Let these facts and hundreds of others of similar
character speak for themselves. Let the hue and
cry against the grog-selk-r bo stopped so long as
the law legalizes his sales- Each citizen of the
atates so long as he refuses to vote it from the

Who does not covet it l Here is an
acquisition worthy of an immortal

perishes like the brute, is low and

said to be n sensible diminution at
