One would have supposed that, whilst the country
aborng under the dangers which present the
Union itself, private ambition would have slum-
bered and that would have had the decency al least
conceal it. if they have not sufficient virtue 10 repess
it. These 'stimes that try mems souls" They are
times which require every patriot to lose sight Of himself
and TO think only Of his country. Wob to that anib-

contempt by the Washington Republic, which not only
advocates the denomination Of General Taylor but wams
the wings that when they their against General
Taylor they reject their only chance Of success in the
