politicians generally, rather fercey The fol-
lowing extract is from the last issue of that
journal:
"Year after year the lives ard property Of
Americans are iecpardZed with immunity in for /

plomalic bargain making with New Grenada; and

hopeful days of the republic ere the baleful
breath Of sectional discoid had enervaed her

sickcning to contemplate. The nation is convulsed
by sectional feuds and heart-burnng which
threaten its dismemberment The dignity of
Congress is lost in political inrignes, and in the
petty strife of partisan domagogues In the mad
pursuit Of office, our representatives have aban-
