4: The National Intelligencer still advocating a
change OF candidates, heads an article, "iet
something be done!'' Of course, let something

~ they can influence by fair and honorable
= means, to vote likewise. And let them work
earnestly for the cause until the day of the
tla Mr.. OF Gen. Stokes, of Tennessee, who is in
. Congress, under peculiar circumstances, is
spouting largely in his State. 10 one OF his
recent speeches he said "We are on the top,
and we mean to keep the Conservatives down

y count Of the reception Of the news of the re-

''no paper 10 the country claiming any chsrac-
ter to responsibility, that is so ready and will

Judging from the manner in which the Re
gistrars in West Virginia have been striking

vatives, or as likely to vote the Conservative
ticket, we should suppose that the Radicals IN
