The problem was-"Who Is the biggest

plain 70 every one here, is ''Snspp;" yes,
Snspp, S1spp OF Illinois. He has proved
himself the champion dsmned fool OF the

and eternal punishment. 1 am happy TO
say I have become orthodox on these
points. Carpetbsg rule in the South had
made me wsv5r in my disbslief, and
month here has thoroughly convinced ms
that there must be he'll, and that Rsdi-

pun 'shment that the ingenuity of man
could devise would do iustics 20 these in
famous miscreants, and we must rely
upon one provided by higher intelli-
gsnce, or admit that crime goes unWhipt

Well, New Hsmpshire has gone Rspub-

SrSts have assured me that the Dsmo-
cratic vote Of the North could not BE-
unttedly cast for Trumoull, because OF his
sntscedents, but that Davis would com
mSnd Is entire. This renders Il the more
necessary that Davis should secure the
nomination at Cincinnati; and for nv
part consider il folly for the Democrats,
North or South, to longer daily with this
question. Il Is well known that this Lib

Democrats for nine-tenths Of the votes
necessary to elect their candidate, snd
while we accord to them the election of 8
Liberal Republican as the standard

This being the case, I hsve no hesitation
IN saying thst ] believe JadRs David
Davis Is the choice of four ffshs OF the

without much contest If(snd bsiievs
