Gen. Dodge for the greater honors

Blu, Gen. Morgan is mistaken if he
supposes he has made his peace with
Cesar by this trick OF his "al cards"
He will fnd to his sorrow, tina. he is
destined to be the dupe of men no less
ambitious, but with far more GINNING

any race for favor with the democracy

Letter and Morgan on the other, we

The contes. between Letter and

there will be a scramble then worth
