"ConsisEency, Thou Arta Jewell"

neighbor of the Register has, oflate,
become of strangely miscellane-
Gus character, and his different po-
litieal phases to lookeron seems
tobe widely apart and wholly irrec-

and help maintain a white mans
Government"

sponge, acknowledging that the
party has not the ghost Of a chance
to succeed against the Republi-
cans, and snrrendcrs the future of
his party to the odds and ends of
