DODGE
We take the above, and the public will so regh
it, as confession the part of the Editor that no
man of the Wing party oil the free States, among
those spoken of as likely to receive the nominaim
for the Presidency, can be produced, who is not now
or who has not been Freesoiler or an Aboitionit
The confession is ample and conclusive. The Com.
mercial's statement that it is our duty to name tho
man. is amusing. That is his business-it concerns
his party, not ours. But ne has responded, and now
what says the Register! Is the Commercial right
Has he confessed the factl Or can the Register pro-
duce the man!
