Europe IN the early spring next year. \ tele-

for the VOYAGE. We can hardly wonder that the
Tories Of Tcheran are nervous about the project.

the Persians has visited our continent. The last

PAPER within reach of our reading. As the can
yass drew near Its close, that Journal moderated
in its tone, and did not every day hint r~ascality
at every man who did not support Horace Greeley
for President. Through the campaign Mr..
Greeley did not greatly offend anybody but once

almost, If not quite, endorsing their action, and
directly nfterward on the other side of the Ohio,
amid the Buckeyes, as previously with the Corn
crackers, he got on his ancient high-horse of the
Union and offset his Fridays Seccssionism by a

he announces his return to the editorial tripod,
with promises Of making ii a better paper than

made a mistake in announcing that he did not
agree with either Of the two parties. He did not
say this before the election. did not dare to say SO,
and be should not have said so after the canvass
was ended. Ii was not just nor courteous 70 the
