themfelves republieans, the miniRerial prints

This was probably TO fave Mr. Callender's
feelings. There would have been degree Of
incelicacy in preienling to Mr.. Calender the
value OF thole fifteen copies without receiving
an equivalent. Strange that our democrat

accounting for the faet. As they appear 10 be

Mr.. Steuns Tbomsfon bf.tSn, fcnator Of the
UnHed States, invited Mr.. Calender, 10 bis

as al inmate with his own fsmily. This is,
however, no proof that Mr.. Mafon did not know
