1t was TO show that 50 our flag ,D1s still there"
But the administration has left nothing in all this
matter to inference. After having thus, through its
organ, avowed its full cooperation with Seward
Wade, and Winthrop, and their party allies, it thus
proceeds, In the same article, 10 exclude the con-
cluslon that any such cooperation could have
Ken place If there were any essential difference of Opn
ion between the administration and these three whig
leaders. The Republic says:
Names are not things; and ne cannot lsH
derstand upon Uhat good reason men can continue
operate 'Oho essentially differ tn opinion"
Thus. then, it appears that the administration can.
not cooperate with those from whom it essentially
differs In opinion" 1t appears, also that it CO.
operate, and does avowedly cooperate, with Messs'
wade, Seward, and Winthrop, and their party, and
on their platform 1t thus proclaims to the world
that between it and them there is no essential dit
ference of opinion.''
Is impossible to suppose that the administration
has hrst cleared the way for such declarations in the
manner we have described, and then put them form
In THIS stringent form, except in deliberate purpose
Ihough somewhat OF the latest, they come in time
ana win a significance, to put many well-mean!S

administration is to support Wade, Winthrop al"
Seward. 1t is enough.''
