Daughtry says that our country is in a good condition. When he was in the East he says the poorer classes there were idle and begging. The rich fed them through actual fear. If they should refuse to feed them for just twenty four hours, there would be a riot. The rich feed them in self defense. What an awful condition for free Amer ica.
