Will Congress BE in Favor of n war =,

The history Of the old Federal party

against opposing war. The Federal marty

the land. II used TO be said that il tom

Federal party fell into sore dsreputc.
mainly on account Of its opposition-re-
puied to he greater than it was, and even
treasonabo-to the war of 1sl2. II finally
became So odious that scarcely any one

The HCfdld accuses THE SUS Of sensa-
tiOnal journalism in sounding the alarm
of war with SPAN. The Hcrdid has been

be attributable TO the larger circulation ~
The SrN, or to other comparisons which
our modosty forbds us to make.
We have taken the special cable telc-

and perhaps that has caused sensation.
We trust, however, that the telcprums are
accurate, although in this instance they
have not, like most OF those TO the HCdid,
been verified in advance by the mails.
When the Hcrdld accuses The SUN of
