Whatever opinion may be expressed as 10 the

and although the latter is apt to run Into wild
extrasaeaneeS When political theories or poIti
cal character is discussed YET he seldom fails 10
aihx a proper estimate on intellectual Gua,inca

both OF them had been remarkably active, he
has sounded his depth, and knows hin ~ b.

as those TO whom we have aboVe alluded can
throw from their eyes the films Of prejudice
and be compelled to condemn where SO many

there can be hide reason 30 DOUBT that there is
