why I treated you so like an old fiiend.

"but iasuch a way that neither of n

'Who came with you, Fanny, fioin
-Charleston? and when and why?'
Have patience, my brother 4 you
shall know ail in good time. I merely
wish to say a few svords explanatory lo

wise, yince the Commissioneis have been
exclusively Removal men, the taxes have
been gradually icdueed almost every year;
the demandi upon the Treasury promptly
