The Springfield Republican quotes as
follows from an English philosopher to
account for the popularity Of two OF the
most prominent republicans in the coun-
try. "Thcre never was a mean and abb
jet mind that did not admircan intrepid
and dcxterous villain. In the bottom of

miscrcants to be the only men qualified

republicans will find it a paying business
to agitate the southern question. They
have lost 50 much by it in Indiana that
