pass for patriots of the fist water, who pro.
Tess to be willing to make any sacrifice for
the restoration Of the Union, crying "no
political difficulties after the Union is re-
stored" This sounds very nice-as they
intend it shall, and deceiyes some. But il
any man will watch the course of these
most excellent patriots the language loses
