on Mr.. Lincoln and his Cabinet which is
a fair approximation to an idea, its source

some startling theories may be expected,
The Gazette has found a Typographical
error in the COMMERCIAL, and rejoiceth ex

dence in the wisdom of its g fathers" and i.
doubtless right in doing so rather than trus
TO any new perceptions of its own.
