Yet Mr.. Kett maunders and blunders on in this
blind way:
The other issues and those which be pressed on to
execution arthat the South inferior section that she
must be made tributary the North and that the powers Of the
be used TO destroy her institutions which are

country by the Black Republican party one can Faithfully
deny"

Keitt on the list of its graduates.
But Mr.. Keih, though somewhat befogged
and misguided as to the principles and objects of
the rising party is not at all blinded to its fatter-
ing prospects. He says:

ever been 1t controls substantially the political or

There are about as many grave mistakes as
lines in the aboye-quoted paragraph; and some OF
them are calculated to perplex and confound the
adoring Keittites. How is it that party so /" i'm
"pudent and aggressive" as the Republican, pre-

And how under the sun does it happen that lit

never did anything notable but disgust Mr.. Keitt,
and pays him 800 [really S2ool per night for

element of public danger.
Mr.. Keitt having asserted that the Republican

wise become in its declarations and principles more
"impudent and aggressive" proceeds to ssultify
himself after this fashion:

Really, We must send Mr.. Keitt copy of the
