fife, Mr.. c. II. Maish, dressed a stage
Yankee. played the snare drum, and Bob
Rowland, arrayef as a broth Of boy
from Limerick, played the bass drum. The
little folks in their pretty, quaint, fanclfGl
and fantastic costumes marched several
times around the hall and then disposed
themselves for dancing. We should like

snaps this up and calls it ''new tack" cut
ting loose from the Pendleton democracy.
'While the DemoLrat," says that jacobin sheet,
sis for getting rid Of the present irredeemablc
paper circulation, a Mr. Pendlcton and his
hackers are for flooding the country with an
additional issue Of two and a half billions
thereof
There is no better evidence needed of the
impregnabiIity Of the Pcndleton plan, than
the fact that no radical paper in Illinois has
yet dared TO inform its readers honestly what

stare, as they certainly do at us in private CON
