publcapism; all that is proscrptve and oigote1

and scslped the renegadss Wood, Tucker, Dickinson,
Schell, Birdsall and Wslbrdge, who commanded the
corps of spies and de,erters from the Democratic
camp. 1t is gratifying to know that We made no con-
cessiobs Every sort of oppt stion openly dehed
and crushed. We stood ON the Administration plat
form. We did not give mp the restriction in the En-
glish bill,' agree that Fernando Wood might go
To Nebraska a. Governor or be again Mayor OF New
