..osd from the Asylum or been released, (as
10 micht very safely be, his disposition being

oos and having a decidedly consequential
..ooct We didn't know, at the first, but
,bot It might be Commission to some big
office gracously bestowed on us by Uncle
1.ems at Washington for the very disinter-
...od manner in which we have Sustained"
Lie Administration, but were very agreeably
d.,npointed upon finding that it was not.
Tbat our readers may Judge of the strange
rogaries which possess mind distlaught,
r.e that of Horn, we give some extracts ver-
1,tn et etLtfratim from the volumnous pro-
duction before US
