as there remains any hope that the great
bodysoi the party are atill true TO the prin.
ciples, or can be induced TO support the
principles Of The old Republican party Of
i 1898. If, however, the loose notions.
the vulgar taste, and miserable demagogue

dred prints finally receive the approba

honest men. all who prefer the virtue oil
the citizens TO those OF the partisan. and
public prosperity TO "ihe spoils," sUtH dis
claim all copneKion with il, and wash
