The Philosopher.

81. Ms" incontrovertable theory con-
sists of two parts. 1st. That both par
ties in the recent war were right. I'd,
That both were wrong. Secondary to the
second, and as it we're branch of the
main trunk, is this, that both parties are
still wrong and will SO continue until they
acknowledge the 1st part, to wit: to each
that the other was right. JIM" thinks
that the great mass of the people North
and South are half converted to his views,
they having already got SO far as to be
fully satisfied that their own party was
right and the other wrong. This shows
progress at least.
81. N" will be here on Wednesday
the 26th inst. Turn out, and hear the
truth.
