popularity and large success, though it has so
substantial foundation upon which 10 rest
such pardonablc pride, that it's boas'lng seems
fully justified, The political articles which now
appear monthly in its columns, grasp the ques-
tons OF the day in bold and reso!utc manner,
going at once to the b,tsom and source of all
