litlcai history. The two leading parties In our
country hitherto separated by broad lines either OF
principle or Of policy differ now scarcely in any thing

which they lie seems likely to withdraw the public
lands nd from the arena Of future party contests.
sional aid on which political parties have hitherto
differed at different times has now become less ques

manded by the spirit Of the age and the true interests
Of the country. III
