find the following patitgtaph •
" No race in this country will be despised
which makes money. If we had in Boston
I or New York teu ourang uutnngs with a
million of dollars each o they would visit in
the best society,; we should leave our cards

them on the spot, dragged them to a table,
and compelled them to sign a confassion f
