patriotic hope and though may regret somewba, that

comments of the LugsHcer had purpose certainly to
exclude from the support Of The ADMINISTRATION any class
OF our felowcizens who might approve of its principles
or its conduct by whatever party badge they may be dis
tinguished, by whatever party denomination they
may be known" Neither was it intended in that ari
Gle to ignore the fact that the present administration lie
indebted for the elevation enjoying to the aid and
support of macy who had heretofore coopers,ed with the
opposition For those gallant who came to tie
rescue of the Union at the period of its greatest danger
and careless Of old aiance and duped by no shadowy
hopes fought bravely for the victory which was won we
