Ai s j A .■»§ O 'Aj E. The Committee to whom was confided the trust of preparing a Pfeumble and Constitution, to be submitted to this meeting, preparatory to fne formation of a State Rights’ Association in the County of Gwinnett, submit the following, a’s the result of their deliberations : The meeting, which is called in conformity with the request of the State Rights’ Meeting held in Milledgeville, in November last, is deemed by your Committee, of the utmost im portance, in producing unanimity of action, in support oftho.se great conservative principles of State Rrights, hitherto so efficacious in pros trating the encroaching spirit of consolidation. The triumph of these principles, so much to be desired, will essentially depend upon the for mation of County and Local Associations, and upon the dissemination of those great political truths maintained by the illustrious Jeff rson, affirmed by the Virginia and Kentucky Resolu tions, and sanctioned by the approbation of the present patriots of our country. The state of political parties in Georgia, and throughout the Union, culls loudly for this concert of action, to preserve all that is dear to freemen. There seems to be a spirit abroad in the land, that is likely to be fatal to constitutional liberty anti subversive of the republican doctrines of '9B end ’99, and in is sought to be es tablished, doctrines, calculated to change our political institutions, and destroy our civil rights. If these doctrines should prevail, then farewell to freedom and State Sovereignty -then will the altar of our political faith be destroyed, and its glories extinguished—our political opponents seizing upon a deceptive name, that of Union Democratic Republican, have lately formed a new party, formed of a coalition of the Federal ists of the old school and consolidationists of the present day the expectants of office and parasites of power, and arc endeavoring to inculcate doctrines contrary to the vital princi ples of the Constitution, and destructive of their own State Sovereignty : pretending to accord with the political views of the illustrious Jeffer son, and adopting as the rule of their faith, the Virginia and resolutions ; but surely they must have forgotten tiiat these far-famed resolutions declare that there being “no com mon judges, that each State has a right to judge for itself, as well of infractions, as of the mode and measure of redress.” Now this is the doctrine we profess to believe. This, then, would have been the Nullification doctrine of the self styled Union party, if they had gone no farth< r; but in a subsequent !! n \ v declare, that in case Congress should pass an unconstitutional law, that no State has a right to judge any thing about it, because one State I might judge one way, and another the other ■ way. How this last sentiment can be made to agree with the Virginia and Kentucky Resolu- I tions, we will leave our political opponents to • determine. It is plainly deducible from the, whole tenor of their proceedings, that the ultra federal doctrines of the Proclamation of the 10th Dec’i. 1832, arc approved and cherished, i the tyranical and despotic provisions of’the Force I Bill sanctioned, its author and supporters ap- I plauded, and the Sovereignty of their own State denied. If these doctrines should eventually prove successful, it must result in the final overthrow of constitutional liberty and tn the establishment of a consolidated despotism, upon (he rums of State Sovereignty. M bile our political opponents arc thus busily ond zealously engaged in disseminating and circulating those federal, and as we believe, dangerous doctrines, they spare no pains to cast odium snd reproach upon those of us, who ere friends of State Rights ami State Sovereign ty. The terms, Disunionist, Traitor and other opprobious epithets, arc frequently applied to those who would t xert their influence to arrest the General Government in its progress to absolute power and despotim. We, as a por'ion of the State Rights party of Georgia, would indignantly wst back these epithets, and say, let posterity judge who are the true friends of libertv, the < (institution and the Union, when (he transactions of the pres< nt day shall become matters of history. We will now give our views of some of the leading political subjects, which seem to be the divisional line between the two political parties in Georgia. We believe the doctrines of the Proclamation of the 10th of December, 1832, tire* radically wrong, and will have a tendency, if persevered in, to change the original principles ot our Government. It rc-asserts the doctrines of Federalits of former days, that the States of (his confederacy never had a separate existence —that a State his no right to decide upon the constitutionality of an act of Congress, not to nirest its progress in its own limits. It denies (ho right of secession, even under the most oppressive laws-; maintaining that the States have net retained their entire sovereigntv, and (hat the allegiance of our citizens is due to the United States in the first place, and threatening the employment es the sword and the bayonet j (<» coerce a sovereign State into submission. I Although these were treated and considered as idle threats, it shows what the present party in power would do, provided they daro execute I their unholy purposes. But w • have reason to rejoice, that tho spii.t . f l.’«-*rtv glows too warmly in the bosoms of the tree men of this country, ever to light against their own countiv c:en, who arc stnigling to resist the usurpations ci'iedeial authority an 1 m I t irv despotism. The passage nf the a< t. (for w • cannot call it a law.' common!) called the Force Bdl, was n high-handed measure, unauthorized bv the Constitution. nn<i contrary to the spirit ct our Republican form of Gov ru n nt. i’hc Presi don’, overlooking bis termer piinei: les. demands i'l a submissive Congress th« ir sanction of this' extraordinary powers and doctrines. and the m-an- of (-turning them into • fleet. On no former occasion has tho hand of power been cxcit 1 ever the Constitution of i free country, with more daring assumption. It has. under the pretence of collecting the r. teiyj at on ■ jell swoop, abolished lie State Governments, confcrvd upon the President unlimited powers, t” I nbe'v I nt bi? d'-’v's ,1 • e nr—v, |.e nav. and the militia of tho United States, not only to be used at his own caprice, but even authorizes him to confer this power upon a deputy marshal, or whoever he may think proper. It also au thorizes him to make a custom house on a ship of war, and place it at the entrance of any harbor he may think proper, there to exact at the mouth of a cannon, in the name of duties, the honest earnings of a laboring man, and bestow’ the money as a bounty upon the lordly manu facturer. Further, it authorizes the taking away beyond the limits of the State, and incar cerating in i military fortress or prison ship, the citizen who may be guilty of obeying tho laws of his own State, made by his own repre sentatives. The provisions of this act arc a dis grace to the Congress that passed it, and should i be torn from the statutes of our Republic, and consigned to the flames that extinguished the Yazoo speculation. Yet, strange as it may appear, in our own State, formerly so much admired for her tenacity to Stat ? Rights and Republican principles, advocates of those mea sures, are numerous, who affirm, with a perti nacity armed against all conviction, their entire devotion to those doctrines which 1 avo to them and their children, the miserable alternative of i dying as rebels or living as slaves. For these ' doctrines fall nothing short of denying every right, except the right of revolution—a right which belongs to the subjects of the most des potic government upon earth. If further evi dence was wanting, that out government is last approaching to a military despotism, we would recur to circumstances of recent occur rence, in, and on the borders of our own State— a regular army marching from different direc tions, and stati-med in the midst of a peaceable population. The enquiry is made amongst the people, why all this military parade? The answer is, I cannot tell. The Governor of Alabama demands information fioin the confi dential agent of the Executive—his answer is, I cannot tell. It may be, that we shall soon hear again, that the thirst of another deputy marshal or military officer has been satiated with the blood of another Owens, or some peaceable citizen, and ’hat the murderer has fled from justice. It is time then, that the people of Georgia arise in the majesty <>f their power, and say to the Government and to the World, we know our rights and will maintain them. Your committee cannot but hope, there is yet a redeeming spirit amongst the people of this government, to check the rapid strides of Exe cutive power, which is threatening our political institutions with a change from a Republic to a Despotism. In order that so desirable an object may be promoted, we, the friends of State night! and State Remedies, of the County of Gwinnett, think it of the utmost importance to organize an Association, to act in concert with other associations of a similar kind through, out the State— Therefore Resolved, That it is expediant to form a State Rights Association, based upon the doctrines of the Virginia and Kentucky Reso. lutions of’9B and ’99, as put forth and conten. ded for by Mr. Jefferson ami other Republicans of that day. Resolved, That we will act in conceit with the Central Committe at Milledgeville, and use our influence to promote the objects of that institution, and the dissemination ot coriect pa. litical doctrines.

Bv An selm Von Fuerback, president of one of the Bavarian ( ourts of Appeal, &c. 'Translated From the German. Second edition.

He was observ’d on th evening ot trie 26th of May, 1828, near one of the gates id Nuremberg m the posture of one intoxicated, who was equally unable to stand or to move. A li tter w hich he Ik Id out addressed to the Captain of a squadion of cavalry, gave no infor mation except that ho was bom in 1812, and i had n ver been suffered to li ave th? house, and that ail inquiries concerning his origin and resi-, donee would be in vain. In reply to all the! questions addressed to him by individuals an I the police, a few unmeaning words and inces sant moans were all ti nt ho could Utter, and he pointed with marks ot exhaustion, to his blister ed feet. Meat, which was offered to restore | him, he rejocted with visible horror; but eager ly swallowed some bread a.d water ; and on being conducted to tire stable, stretched him self u »<>n the straw and fefl into a sleep so pro found, that he could scaicclv be awakened. His feet were as soft as the palms of his hands ; his gait was that of a child, just beginning to step ; and it was only with intense suffering that he could w Ik. His senses seemed to be locked up in torpor ; and a wooden horse, brought to him by a soldier, in consequt n c of his frequent repetitions ot the German word for horse, ’r<»ss ! ross ! vas the first and only object wlnch seemed to excite interest. He seated buns, li by it, ‘with a countenance smiling swee. t!y through his tears.' and passed hours and days, in moving, anil feeding, and ornamenting it, as if it were tho on’y being which called forth his social feelings 1( will be easily behoved that such an appear, once would excite intense curiosity. It was a case w' ich set at definance ad the former in’erroga ions and arrangements ot a German government ; and it was diffi ult to decidel whc’he- he belongs to tho asylum fcr i hocy, or the aims-ouse or to the police office and the prison. liter vain efforts to elicit something from himis to his residence or connections, to which ho •eplied only in some piteous moans and uninfi'igible phrases, ho was committed to a towe over one of the gates,under the care of a htirane jailor, and appears to have enjoyed all tho omforts of which his case admitted. Commor sense soon relaxed the severity of the law : am he was received into the family of the jailor as <_deserted child, and under the instruc tions of his children, began to learn to talk ! He was visited by crowds, who taxed their ingenuity in examining the poor youth, and vvoried him almost to torture, by their inquisi- I torial efforts to discover something. But they could only ascertain that he was an infantofadult ; age ; —in the expressive language of a London Reviewer; ar. example of youth without child hood. He attempted, like, an infant, to seize every glittering object which he saw, and cried if he was forbidden ; and even when a lighted candle was placed before him, he tried to grasp the beautiful flame. In the miust of this seem> ing infancy, however his guardians weie aston ished, on putting a pencil into his hand, that he could form letters distinctly. He filled with elementary characters and syllables, and closed by covering a page with the name— ‘Kaspar Hauser.’ I'his discovery of his naw, usually so im portant in the records of ed no clue io~the mystery which enveloped the singular being. Destitute of the conception, as well as the names, of the most common ob jects, aid averse to all common customs and conveniences and necessaries of life, there see med no alternative, in the language of his bio grapher, but to regard him as the inhabitant of som< distant planet, or as one buried from his birth, md now just emerged into the world. Imagirntion wa.i tortured to devise sor.e mode of accounting for his character and appearance. Some dreamed of an experiment, of a mind, left to advance io maturity in utter ignorance of the world, and thus realizing the fancy picture of a German story. Others supposed him the heir of some estate or diadem, of w hich he was un lawfully deprived. Others still conjectured, that i his difficult and dangerous plan of burying alive, had been adopted to conceal the crimes atten ding his birth. Such wore the conjectures floating on the publii mind in reference to this singular being,; when we left Germany, unable t » vary our route ! so far as to visit Nuremberg. It was not until j subsequent education had enabled Caspar to - clothe his own ideas in words, that any light 1 wan I’trolvn upon !I‘S ?“.*■*; fol- low ing account derived trom the work whose title is at the head of this article comprises all his recollection of childhood and youth : ‘He neit er knows who he is, nor where his home is. It was only at Nuremberg that he came into the world. Here he first learnt that, besides himself and the man with whom we had always been,” there existed other creatures. As long as he can recollect he has always lived in a hole, (a small low apartment w Inch he sometimes calls a cage,) where !v had always sat upon the ground, with bare feet, and clothed only with a shiit and a pair ot breeches. In this apartment he never saw the heavens, nor did there ever appear a brightening (daylight) such as fit Nurembiug. He never perceived any difference between day and night, and much less did he ever get a sight of the beautr ful rights in the heavens. Whenever he awoke from sleep, lie found a loaf of bread and a pitcher of water by him. Some times this w ater had a bad taste;* whenever this was the case, he could no longer keep his open, but was compi lied to fall asleep; and when lie after, wards awoke, he found that he had a clean shirt on, and that bis nails hau been cut. lie never saw the face of the man who brought him bis meat aod his drink. In this hole he Ind two wooden horses, and several ribbons. With these horses he had always amused himself as long as he was awake; and his only occupation was to make them run by his side and fix or tie the ribbons about them in different positions. Thus, one cay had passed as the others; but he had never felt the w mt of any thing, had never been sick, and —once only ex cepted—had never felt the sensation of pain. Upon the whole, he had been mm h happier than in the world, where he was obliged to sof ter so much. How long he bad continued to liv ■ in this situation hi- knew not; tor he had no knowledge of time. He knew not when or how he came there. Nor had lie any recollec tion of ever having been in a different situation, or in any < ther than in that place. The i: an with whom he had always been, never did him any harm. Yet one day, shortly before he was taken away—when lie had been running his horse too hard, and had made too much noise; the man came ami struck him upon his arm with a Stic.k, or aphce of wood; thiscaused the woun which he brought with him to Nu. remberg. ‘Putty m ai'y about the same time, the man once came into his prison, placed a small table over his feet, and spread something white upon it, which he now knowstohave been paper; he then came behind him, so ns not ’<> be seen by him, took hulii of his hand, and moved it back wards and forwards on the paper, with a thing (a lead pencil) whit h he had stuck between Ins lingers. He (Hauser) was ignorant of what it was; but he was mightiy pleased, when he saw the black figures w hich began to appear upon the white paper. M hen he felt that bis hand was free, and the man wag gone f rom him, he was so much pleased with (his new discovery, that he coul i nt ver grow tired of drawing these figures repeatedly upon the paper. This occu. pation slmost made him neglect his horses, al though he did not know what those characters signified. The man repeated his visits m the same in nner, several times.’ ‘ Another time the man came again, lifted him from the place where he lay, placed him on his feet, and endeavored to teach huo to stand.’ At his final appearance the man took him over his shoulders, carried him as he expresses it, up a bill and brought him to Nuremberg.— *?r ha! ’v wax: mixed * ;'h His recollections of his journey arc very indis tinct, and the fact that he sinks into a death like sleep when he rides in a wagon, leaves it en tirely uncertain in what way he was conveyed. After many ineffectual examinations, often lea ding to error, nothing remained but to provide the best means for alleviating his misfortunes, and supplying, in some degree, the loss of his years and childhooc. and youth, with the faint hope, that time might enable him to furnish a clue to his origin.f The state of nervous excitement and disease, produced by the multitude of new objects and ideas that crowded upon him, emerging thus suddenly from darkness and solitude, led the police to exclude all visitors, and place ’ asper in the family of Professor Daumer of the Nu remberg gymnasium, to receive such an educa tion as he needed. fin recent newspapers, we find the following paragraphs: 'Caspar Hauser. The mistery which hung about the origin and ear’y life of this extraordi nary young man, is said to be in away of ex planation. It seems according to an account which we find in an English periodical, that Caspar Hauser was the fruit of an illicit amour; that a priest, the reputed father, took charge of the child trom the moment of its birth, and finally inclosed it in a subterraneous hole or vaud w n f*r?rrvmt wh»'rc he was residing, that ' thus imprisoned and shut out ft on; all hmuan intercourse, the unhappy being passed his exis tence until within a day or two of his being found, as related in this history of his life w hich has been published, when the priest being com pelled to quit the convent, and having no other place ofconcealment at hand, released anti left the boy to his fate.

DAHLOHNEGA, GEORGIA, APRIL 11, 1834. I In reply to the n nieroifs applications for the loan of Newspapers —we answer once for all—that they can in no instance be taken from the office. 1 here is for those who choose to r< ad, always a vacant chair in the office — in the occupancy of which we should be glad to see them. • ; XVe have been indisposed to make the Judicial Procee dings of our Circui:, the subject matter of newspaper dis cussion and comment, at least until after a final decision in the cause alluded to shall have been made by the Court. Then perhaps the propriety and correctness of the decision, might become the subject of comment and investigation. Acting upon this motive we have careful ly refrained from saying any thing calculated to increas c the unnecessary, excitement which pervades some parts of the Circuit, growing out of the pendency of divers Injunctions, instituted at the instance of the original oc cupants of the Cherokee Territory, agatnst the State’s Indian Agent, and others seeking the pusscssion of the lands drawn by them in the late Lo'.tei ies The questions involved in these bills are yi t undetermined, having been submitted by Judge I looper to the Convention of Judges to be assembled at Milledgeville, in July next; and wc b' g leave s*ill to pursue the course marked out for our selves and leave t’.cm to be di-ciisscd before, and deter mined by the proper t.ihu I I'or the information however of tho' e, before v. ' these cases have been presented in e very light, but correct one wc would say ’hat the public policy ai’ l rights of the State arc not involved in any manner in them. They arc questions purely of private right and individual inten st. Ihe right of the State to both soil an i juiisdiction arc recognized to to the fullest extent by the Court. There are seine rnatti rs connected wilh the progress of the sc cases of which however, we feel authoiized to speak The last Standard of Lhiion, in an article < f iwo columns, in de fence of the conduct of the; Getvernor, cal s upon the adversaries ejf that officer, to point oilt a single instance in which he has ivelessly squandere 1 th ptibh' funds. Wc have never made any charges of that kind ourselves, but would be glad to know by what authority, law, constitution or act of appropriation, his Excellency i mployi <1 two attornies, with fees each ofo ie? thousand dollars, to dtf'en I tlr se injunctions? The State has no . mrire interest m the final decision of these questains than it has m the final decision of any other cases arising under grants ,n any other section of the country. M c presume,however, a • is the case with allother usurpations of the present day, his Excellency has done this “upon I his cwn respont bilihj"!!! But we have been informed upon the best authority, that Messrs. Cuthbert and Ke nan, have been retained, each with the above named fee, to le-pai l ut'of the State Treosnry, and that the Gov. expects to get an appropriation by the next Legislature to discharge the «ame. If we are misinformed in this matter, we sliould be glad to be corrected; but if the facts, as stated, are true, we should also be gla ) to see some justilication cf so high handed a measure. The people would do well to look to the of inions of those whoin’lhev s' nd to the next Legislature, as we have no idea th< v m l ever sanction this unceremonious put tin* of hands into the Treasuiy by his Excellency. < >ur subsc.ibers at, and in the n< ighborhood, of the Post Office at Auralia, are again assured that their pa- , per# are regularly deposited there every Friday evening, sent there by etrr own mail. More than this we cannot do, and as much as we regret that they do not receive j th, m, the evil is b- yond our remedy. •ur subscribers in the Cherokee Circuit particularly, re also assured that wc have exhausted even mem within our reach, to have the usual mad accommodations expended thro?’’bon* *he< and as vet C to no n ir- ' ! pose. At the General Post Office Department, in an ' swer to the numerous applications and petitions which have been presented on our behalf we have occasionally been cheered by promises—but have again and again been deceived in their performance. This department has become shamefully and disgracefully faithless—a reproach and scandal to the administration under which it is conducted —and we had almost said, a curse upon the prosperity of the American There is a default or negligence some where on the route from Milledgeville to Auraria. Our papers by that route arc received irregularly, and always several days after they should come to hand, by due course of mail. Os these mattersit is our right to complain, tho* wc confess that the exercise of this privilege is not likely to bring about the correction of the existing evils.- A paragraph was perhaps due last week to the Chiv alrous Knights of the “Southern Banner,” in reply to a column and over from them, and touching ourselves, headed with that beatiful and select phrase, “All the de cency.” We remember that in a former collision with this print, it was remarked of them, “that they had be come so very sensitive and fractious that il was almost dangerous for any one to speak of them;” and our own experience has taught us that the same vindictive splene tic disposition still exists in them, as it did when their conduct called for the quoted remark from our predeces sor. Our first, and we believe our only offence towards thc “Banner,” was the re-publication of an article from the “Savannah Republican;” and here the liberal and worthy Editors, in tin ir comments upon tins act, took the high and dignified ground, in defence, that the arti cle was not well printed, and that it contained some few typographical errors. In the mechanical part of our trade wc confess ourselves the inferiors ol the “Banner,” and cheerfully yield‘o them the Superiority which they mnst have sought, by allusion to this circumstance, to establish for themselves. If they desire further quarrel upon this point, we must turn them over to the operatives in our office, who have the exclusive charge of the press and type, and who are altogether competent to discuss with them, the business of “composing, proof reading,” ■&c. &.C. Our not replying to the effusion of the Banner, in our last number, was not for want of time to “concoct” a suitable reply, but arose from a disposition on our part, not to interrupt these gentlemen so soon in the enjoy ment of th’, “blushing honors” and unfading laurels which their imaginations had doubtless conjured up, as lhe fruits of so elegant and faultless a composition. And in good truth it is a very pretty thing—we ourselves have read it over and over again, and are perfectly enraptured with its figures of speech—the rich verbage ol sentiments which in point of beauty and ability, would not be dis creditable to a graduate in the black art. In fact, there are a few things in this world in which these “worthies'’ are hard to beat; the firstand most important of which, is, the facility with which they can accommodate them selves to the popular breeze—they have also a peculiar aptitude "in plagarizing vulgar sentiments, which we should have supposed in their polished and refined circle (if, indeed, they frequent that circle where they live) had long since become stale and nauseous. There is, per haps one other reason why it was not proper to have answered tlfs article of “all the decency and truth” last, week. These “gentle and simple” personages have usually taken a fortnight to answer our plain inquiries and suggestions, and it would lie unmerciful in us to feed to them faster than their stomachs could digest dyspepsia might ensue, and then and what then? (vhy, nothing except “decency” might loose its mouth piece and billingsgate jts oracle. These accomplished knights of the illustrious order . of‘,‘Jim Crow.” these astute professors in the “leaping and turning art,” after having expended their stock of i ancient and venerable witticisms upon us—in which a j great deal more was said and hinted at about their own ' “decency,” than their own experience would justify, have amused themselves with a “cut and thrust” at our neighboring town of “Auraria,” and express a modest intention of domiciliating themselves in our o’lice to learn “sense,” if, indeed, they should ever desire any. This suggestion has caused us some alarm; and will tho inquiring editors for this commodity permit us to in'bnrt them that “we never underla .e hopeless tasks.” Cid habits are hard to break oil) and native stupidity with stands the most eloquent lessons of instruction. Add to this a certftin confusion or derangement of intellect, which is consequent upon the profligate desertion of old friends, and the adoption of new ones, with their princi- • pics, and we fear the case of the Banner is past the reach of Hainan skill. And beside* this, wc arc not disposed to take upon ourselves the induction of these gentlemen into the circles of “decency” —our own characters might b ■ brought into disrepute, iffoun Jin such company, and wc might b. supposed to be fellow disciples of leaping mast' r-gcneral Jim Crow. Th ■ favorite hobby of the “Banner,” the “South Car olina Test Oath,” has, ere the editors found time to “concoct” a reply to our first essay upon this subject, .be come hacknicd —worn out. The Union party of South Coiolina are aiding in carrying the law into effect —in despite of all the nullification of its privisions, ’w hich the Banner and the Union pr< sscss of Georgia, have recom mended to them. It now only remains to be determined whether the “spirit of enquiry” wi! fix the seal of con tempt upon that class who recognize their allegiance to the State S'ovr i< icnties, or upon those who would prefer owing it, not to a higher, but physicully ; a stronger power. We would not of ours< Ives attach to the proceedings of the Murray County meeting, found in to-days paper, sufficient importance to give them pulicity, if thereby wc did not expect to reach higher game, and to t rme the rcb< llious spirit which influenced it, to its proper origin. It might not however be improper to remark of the immediate actors in the disgraceful and disgusting scone, that the Secretary now holds the dignified station of S n.-tor from the county cf Murray,Bdhat the marter spirit and prime instigator < f the meeting, is of sufficient notoriety to be ranked as one “of the few and feeble aids,’.’ (military) of his Exccll'ncy the Governor of Georgia. •Many of our r aJers will perhaps remember thaf we had allusion not long since, to an Editorial article m the “ Standard of Union,” in w hich wc conceived that an effort had been made ;o excite insubordination, and resistance to the Judicial proceedings of our Circuit.— Wherein (he Presiding Judge was told that he might grant Injunctions, make Decrcss &c. &c. and enforce them if he could, but that the patriotic Governor would execute the laws, and that the people would stand by the Governor. We then expressed our opinion, that the course and language of the “Standard,” w as oracular, and was to be taken as ominous of an attack by his “Lumpkinship” upon the Judiciary. These resolutions are the first fuita of :bc FvftciTi. and to wkat it will ultimately lead. ’ , m<’
