No. informs us that if the oppostionists obtain
power they will not appoint ''mere partizans to
Office That is good. But in 1854 any one of

No. II is Jang-up Constitutional doctrine. 1t
is equal to the Declaration of Independence and
Washington's Farewell Address combined. We
are for it, and we do not care who knows it.
But No. Ii renders it somewhat doubtful wheth-
err these principles really held by opposition
friends. They say "with such principles, it would

and to secure concentration of strength. Let us
keep eye on politicians who plot in secret, and
