.The state Of par:os has. however, very materi-

embraces very large majority OF all the people Of
the United States and there exists no longer an eN

The OpposItonists Of the South, under such cir

The PuB1rC PRINrNG.-An attempt, we under

Public Printing of the State 10 the lowest bidder
For good and sufficient reasons we hope this attempt
will fail. Primary among these reasons Is our tho
