Major General VIM T. Sherman desire to do? Is II his
wish bring the army of the ballot box suffers and
dies which he may raise in collision with the decent
respectable citizens of San Francisco? Is the military
glory which he might attain, by leading on horde Of
villains against the citizens sufficient TO compensate for
the execraon which he will justly receive, he prccip

should rely upon would caution him against But IN an eyh
