This enemy which is stealing into their camp

and none viii so surely bring down an ar

with tie South; this enemy will thin their

the country has had great eonfdence in
TIE returning irmness and patriotism of the
President. He has received the congratula-
tons Of the Republicans as well as Union
Democrats, and has given promise Of leaving
Office with partial credit. But fears are en-
tertained, apparently too well founded
that he is still in sympathy with rebellion.
He has lately opposed the precautionary
