reviewed carefully hv ev;rv one ottliem.
Il speaks for itself. and Yet we must
crave the opportunity, of adding to the
hosts Of its indorsnrs. It is certainly
an able and statesman like production.
II is as firm rs The most radical Repub-

for tf,o purpose Of impartine ideas. and
indicating his future policy, than for

Like a true man. true to his friends.
ne manFullv plants himself boldly at
the very start upon the platform Of tho
party which placed him in power. and
declares that he shall conform to its
policy. in carving out the constitution
according to its true and LEGAL intorprc
tation. Tic declares That the ipse-t7irit
