Washington dispatch of Saturday says: 1T
was reported on the street today that the
President had prepared aud signed neutrali-

somewhat close observer of all its operations
while here. What have we thought of it?
very much. We have thought of its enthusi-
asm, Dissemination, pluck and zeal; Of its OBJ
iects, methods relations and fruits; of its some
times indiscretions and apparent crudeness Of
idea, and of its Assumptions, and tendencies
sometimes to selfglorifcation. But with all
that we can see, both dangerous and hopeful,
both inauspicious and full of subject for con-
gratulation, we pronounce ourselves decid.
sdly pleased and eratifed that the young msr
of our land are thus banding themselves to
gether, and We bid them hearty God-spee'
