Wecan in part. The Administration which
you elected and supported, and the most in

now publishing long defence Of, sold out

General SCOTT refused to reinforce the sorti-

Your party and the doughface compromisers,
whom you adulate, refused to empower the
present Administration to COLLECT tho revenue
or to raise forces to relieve or defend the
forts. And your party still, in the North
and the South, are rendering aid and com-
fort to traitors in the Senate and through U,

execution OF the laws, but also BY threaten.

The Burch divorce case ia still before the

ever the effect Of the frst trial may have been

vince Mr.. Burch Of the injustice OF his de-
mand. or has failed to overcome hs obsti

that the trial coet him 500 900, or that il
has used up large portion of bic fortune

is " orth more to-day than be was ut the time
the suit was commenced. The cost OF the
suit Was large, though somewhat less than
SIS 900, while in one speculation alone Mr..
Burch is said to have realized a much larger
sum OF money. The report that the parties
are negotiating to live together again, ID also
unfounded. lam reliably informed that they
are negotiating for permanent and psaoea.
Die separation, with prospects OF success
Neither party are willing to endure another
trial il il can be avoided. Let as hope that
the details OF another trial may never be
