He must give it his general approval That the sturdy
old Pennsylvania does this have not the shade" of

Sometimes it openly condc,nued the President, and
at others damned him with tn" lsnes ot faint praise.

been the yitup.raun of the President and his con-
stitutiOna advisers.
1t cannot be possible that our friends Of the Penn

snults upon the Administrations We sure they do
