country is divided into hostile camps the afectaion
of no-partyism by candidate, is only demagogUsm
or futuity. In such times. the fighting, or af-

0cs- The Herald of Wednesday takes issue with an
article in the Journal of Tuesday, in reference 10 the
presidential question, We do not design making any
heightened reply, brief one will suffice, and the

being thrown into the House. 1t SAYS that even sup.
posing Illinois and Iowa secured by the expulsion

one State. 1t seems to forget that that other

member whose vote gives the Democrats the prepon-
