/ s1-It cannot have escaped the notice of
welI-read, intelligent men, that the doctrine

tempted to put them into practical operation

I-The Argns devotes a column to the
Press, to show the monstrous absurdty of
its endorsement of President Lincoln's late
letter to the N. Y. Democrats. If the Argus

ter in full, its readers win see, better than we

its comments. We insist that the arguments
of the President are unanswerable, and we fur
Their insist that the speech we copied from Mr..
Douglas more than covered and sustained
every proposition of the President viii the
