of the belief that the Scott Act, enforced as
it ought to be enforced, is such a factor. In
the autumn of 1864,afterlong discubsiou and

to that end, and the panic has now been in

favorably in this movement of repeal must

The Scott Act has as much virture now
as it had three years ago. We hays not
heard any valid. argument raised against it
since,that time, and no new circumstances
have, arisen in our county to render it less
valuable as a moans of moral advancement,
of as a protection to the intorests of oto
