Who we're not tidentifed With tho Gonfeder.
ate cause. True policy demands this, and
our people begin to understand i. Mr.
Ridgway, I perceive, il. q candidate Tor
Congress. His election, and the election
of men of his political status, would be eml.

itself disarmed in Congress, and the South
would then have decided voice in the
councils Of the country. The first struggle
over, you can afterwards follow your inclt
nations and elect whom you please. 80. - q
