and bave thervby dviue. incalouable god.
Now, whi'c the ; Leg's'a'ure is in fes. i n, I

and worthy act for that body to appropriate,
a a sort of loan, a sum ufficiertfly large to
meet, in part thewants of the' soldiers of those
States who. often Cecl the relief a few dollars
would procure. Our. State' might .set apart
