What we said was SO inde1laGfy, true

concern near &c bridge fc't its damag-

As a consequence the Democrat Of last
week, IS VIC found upon our return on

piteous attempt TO prove his orthodoxy

The Editor Of the Hopkins organ is
peculiarly unfortunate in making char

with even greater force against himself
