"Our war scrip drags slowly along, the
Third Auditor playing as dilatory u game
as practicable, nnd pretending, to comply

they have been filed, and is now only up lo

passed upon, as well as those filed in July

more, and if we really came to a brush

The signers nre nil obscure men, some of
whom can not even write their mimes, and
who had to make their mark, under the
impression that it was a petition lo Con

To give the document respectability, they
attached the name of Win. II. Walkins to
it. Let everybody understand thathis
