Mail the direct OF the truth The author

who wrote letters OF sympathy and approval TO Van Blu

faithfully BY his party that crisis Of detection and de-
feat The OF Collector Bronson is man who
never yet betrayed the party or the country.
In alleging thai the Pierce administration has raaged
itself under the freeso banner and has ignored the
national democracy. The Mail makes assertion which
does deserve reuiation, because OF its palpsbe in
Justice and absurd,y simple nent OF facts is the
best reply 10 reckless assertion. The administration
holds The sentiments OF free soIers n such abhouence,
that IL has rigdly excluded from Office all who refuse 10
