son This is according to the Whfg' and
@ o.her southern papers, to be the program
~afot the future. We are to see an at1lla'

" new phase OF sectionalism once more

inn md there will be an entire recon

n.mocrstic papers that once made wal
~ oach other will hereafter make war on
common foe. We will see, as we al
resdv see, the Indianapolis papers using
Tho same sort of language as the hch-
mond n.ners. For instance, the Indiana
noIia Journal, Republican paper tells
=. that the people who wanted more cur,

voice Of the West and South in favor OF

loud and imperious protests OF the rlc

These outbursts of passion over IN
veto are natural enough under the cir
cumstances, but they will not amount
ANYTHING a few months hence. The

The great merchants Of the East, as v
