what authority the Daily Times took it upon itself
| tie substitute the word ''National" for Federal in
| me reply OF Dean Richmond to the Republican
| committee. we recollect that the Times very
| oracularly announced, a short time SINCE in oppo-
stion to the opinion of Hamilton, Madison, &c
| thaIthis was not Federal but entirely Nationa
| government, and declared that the word Federal
ought not to oe used; but We did not expect to
| 1tgo so far as to alter the communications OF
| other people published in its columns, over theil
| own names. we suppose from this, that if the
PRESIDENT OF the United States should ever us,
,ne WORD Federal hereafter, the Times, in publishing
bis message, would alter it to suit tsef-Neao Yorl
Day Book.
