good 'old school,, to which its author belongs, an,
we welcome them back as we would the return

We've upon the important interests now entrusted
to him. All that he says is clearly from The heart

single harsh or dlsrrspecllul nlluson to his pred
eccssorS or opponents. He has displayed the er.
ror and danger OF their proceedings, not by an a.
tack upon them, but by plain straight forward
statement of the Indispensable necessiy of The
opposite course, which he himself intends to pur-
