WHAT ABOUT THAT DIFFER.
EEGE?

We clip the following extract from
debate in Congress in ls5s,, and
comments thereon from ihe Hrr"fd
Of the 9th There is no better illustra'
tion of tho position OF the Democratic
party on the debt question than that al
forded by the remarks OF tho Radica'
Thad Stevens.
The Heraid could not have illustrated
that position in a happier manner than IT
mas done by making u.e Of that debate
The very excellent comments Of that pa
pcr arc sufficient to show the radical
dishonesty Of the Radical attempt to point
ou, differences between The Democratic
press in Oregon. We join the Uero/d

the following questions:
