Born Again,

Mr.. Secretary Chase, in his speech
at indianapolis, said this great Nation
must be "born again" We are afraid
that it will prove negro baby.
But what does he mean, in fact, but
that the nation must die. The old
Government, the old Constitution, that
happy system founded by Washington
and Jefferson, and sustained for so many
years of prosperity and honor, must die,

in ridicule of her heart troubles over the
exile of her husband. 1t was a most

The criminal efforts of the visionary
