What has occurred TO change his position ON hs ques
tisns will not say that this ambition which has
tempted all who have gone before him weighed on his
mind to tempt him; but IL IL exceedingly singular that
far from rendering treason odous by punishment he
has hoisted into the most exalted positions many OF the
leading traitors in the South. Who else, at any period
Of the worlds history, ever thought OF taking rebel
in the position OF Governor OF state-Goyernor Of
