to know also. that the relations be-
tween the President and Mr.. D., are
not merely agreeable, but are of that

the amount OF their tax bills"

precisely the case in Providence: 1t shows S
how frequent communication and intercourse
affect public opinion in distinct communi-

A still more remarkable coincidence It Is
precisely the case in Ohio. 1t shows how
sympathetic are communities as well as
persons. If all the oaths and signs OF the
Buckeye tax payers could be given in on
voice, this fall, it would make grand Di' :
