To what extent shall the minions of jeff
Davis in tho loyal States be permitted 10
proclaim and reiterate the most miscaieyous,
porilous falsehoodsl This question is now very
prominent in syal circles, and it demands a
practical answer.
Opening The Herald Of Saturday, we note,
among scores beside OF equally wauton aud
malignant but perhaps not so dangerous editorial
lies the following:
