an abOlitionist, and he is consistent,
being one still.
This is the sort Of men that are now
leading the Republican party. Eve
~ old abolitionist in the country is hot
for Lincoln and Hamlin, claiming
that their principles are abolition.
The Journal claims that Keith ex-
posed the ignorance or ialsehoods OF
Bingham and Major Bratton. 1t is
scarcely necessary. to say that Keith
did not successfully answer nor refute
a single position taken BY either Of
these gentlemen, and the assertion
that he did is only in keeping with the
peculiar characteristics of the Jour.
nal.

HEHAD HIM THERE The witty Scotch ad-
vocate Harry Erskine, on one occasion plead
ing in London before the House OF Lords, had
occasion TO speak of certain curators, and pro-
nounced the word as III Scotland, with the ac-
cent on the first sy liable, carators. One or tue
English Judges could not stand this, and cried
out, I'VE are in the habit OF saying curator in
this country, Mr.. Erskine following the ana
logy of the Latln language, in which, as You
are aware, the penultIm4te syllable is long -
Il thank your lords hip very much" was Frs
kine's reply. 1--WE are weak enough in Scot
land to think that in pronouncing the word
curator, we follow the analogy OF the English
language. But l need scarcely say that bow

Senator and SO great an orator as your lord
