the fact that it is surely TO up at Cincinnati makes
things look very squaly As the eventul first lay

Cincinnati draws near, the quarres among the leaders

at Phiadelphia to make nominations the 17.h Of
June. The antiques Of Seward and his men have
already spit this party into sections. The radical
