To tie Editor Of TIE Tribune:
The prospect Of war brings to my mind the action
of a portion of the whig party, to which have the
honor to belong and for 90 years have never once
neglected to vote, hate war much as yourself
but if it l. though poor shall have 10 bear my
part. | do not intend this elimination or as
placing the Rich against the Poor, or rice rersa ;

who could not lind time last Fall (mosty, believe, OF

they were too busy and always 10 60 TO the Polls
and not until opponents get the power IN the City,
State and General Governments do they think worth
the trouble to attend TO prevent the eechon oil bad men
and the consummatlon OF worse measures; TO all OF

THE HoMGPArHIc ExAMISER.-This is one of
the ablest medical works published in the country
and under the editorial charge of Drs. Gray and
Hempel, who represent the two schools of Homo
pathic as now pracrsed in this country, it is
ducted with liberaity worthy Of imitation by many
OF our medical journals of high pretensons and
cradle age. In the pages of the Examiner there is
now going spirited and most interesting dis

instruction. The last number also contains ex-

The onset of true Group is not sudden in
