These are no times for dssension and division in the
Republican party. Never were the wings so flushed
with the hopes OF victory. Never il more incum-

important, than any difference OF opinion which wc
may entertain about the custody Of the public money

We will no, discuss with the Madsonian the charac
ter ormerits Of the Special Deposte system When it
shall be presented TO Congress, shall do all IN our
power advise giving the system the best form and
modification Of which u is susceptible. But this we

In this he is certainly out, Mr. Canbreleng is
not the author. ...
