derstand, played or onto us.
The President wuz gloomy. He
hedn't anticipated the defeat. He
spected that hevin showd hisself
through all the Northern States thcr
ought to hev ben enthoosiasm enough
evolved to hey carried en- without
trouble. The fault, he remarked,
coodcnt be with his policy. Ther

simple in it, that IL wuz incomprc.
hcnsible to him why the people hcdn't
at once adopted it. "Why look at it, ;"
sed he. Il offer the people NV the
North peace, on the simple condislln
Nv sayin nothin more about the war,
or the mutual trouble wich they
found themselves into, and rushin

brethren and takin nv EN- back list cZ
