r. greater facilities for obtaining all the IMPORT.

any other Journal In the United states. The
highest evidence Of this, which relieves US from
the charge of ogotlsm, Is the fact witnessed all
I, over the nation daily (by those who care to oh

II and most influential Journals Ia the United

t. columns Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. This
