As in time Of epidemic sickness, all dis
eases take the type Of that which prevails,
so now our people will talk about, or read,
or hear only what has some reference TO tile
present abnormal condition Of our cosntry !.
while all which bears upon the war aud its
results. is caught up with the greatest eager-
ness The problem is one which we all de-
sire to solve, and, what help we can get from
great thinkers and profound reasoners, We
are anxious to receive. That our arms will
be successful, and the authority of the gov
ernment re-established, we have not a doubt
but the condition of affairs which will then
succeed, seems to battle all calculation and
draw forth the most opposite conclusions.
Dr. Brownson, Of New York, long and fa-
vorably known throughout this country and
Europe, will lecture on Thursday evening
His views may be erratc, but they will un-
doubtedly be able We bespeak him a
