ALI this for half-price by the editor Of the

whether 8 person SO facil6 on his pivot can ever
become leader Of opinion in this country.

The secretary of War has done just act to
the memory of Major General James Wilkinson,
Of Maryland, once Commander-in-Chef OF tue
American Army, by asking that his remains be
taken from an unnoticed corner of an abandoned
church in Mexico City, and buried in the United
States National Cemetery there.

which Butler and others wanted to gobble up.
