"Evcry thing that malicious ingc-

r"scntativos, and to which wc regret
to say the Executive has given his

popular feeling. In NIL this course OF
hostile Legislation and harsh resent.
mcnt no word Of conciliation, of kind
encouragement or fratcrnal fellowship
has ever been spoken by the Prcsi.

intheir administration ofpublio affairs
and The dangerous and prohigato at
tempt they are making towards the
creation of n centralized military
