drawing an analogy between dsbanded army

the present administration, he explained at
licans who had not so far advanced on this ques-
ton as he tthe Senator) had. The republican party
was organized, he said, in 1856, and then read the
call that was issued on that occasion, and the
response OF the nation, by the nomination OF John

fail to endorse, with perhaps one exception, that
question, and he was not even Of that not
being endorsed He was not sure that the very
mode in which that question of raising revenue was
referred back to the people OF the several districts
which elected members OF Congress- was not only
the best, but In fact the only constitutional mode
of disposing OF 1t. Cincinnati frankly admitted
a difference of interests and of opinions upon this
head, and left 1t to be settled by the people Such

That was the question. Some said that 1t was

was not now whether Cincinnati could not have
selected q man whom Baltimore could more easily

simply for them TO say whether Greeley or

reviewed Mr. Grceley's personal character, and OF
