[From the Springfield Republican,
The ThirtY.EOuIth Congress.

From the Springfield Republican,
The Thirty-Fourth Congress.
Administration democrats are printed in
plain roman type. The opposition are divi-
ded into two classes those who base their
opposition chiefly on the MISUNDERSTANDING
policy of the administration, whom we des-
ignate as Republicans, and print in hdtic
type and those who making no or minor op- |
position on the slavery question, adopt as
the distinctive principles of their creed the
platform of the Philadelphia National Amer
lean Council, whom we designate as Ameri-
cans and print in SMALL CARS. There are few |
anti-adminstration members properly be-
longing to neither of these classes but there
is no violence and little risk in placing them
with one or the other, as their antecedents
indicate is natural.
