also. Mrs. llaud's testimony occupied

'he thiuks cannot fail to convince any rea

This Contsional proposition for the

This is, we say, a strong platform upon

We ask nothing fairer than thi? cxj.o--ition
of tho principle contained in the

being the only point of connection be

this link. Tho Caro.iua twins, as this j
