In the same manner rs in this place,
the irrcpressible "DOn" and his cohOrt,
the Free Press, have led their followers
an uneasy race throughout the state.
Day by day, and almost hour by hour
the spirits of the faithful alternately rose
and fell; according as the reports, as
shown in the above dispatches. were ia
vOrable or unfavOrable. If there is any
one who doubts the authenticity of these
dispatches, LEI them follow back to the
time of their respective dates, and see if
they cannot remember that the .lemean-
or of the supposed recipients did not in
dicate the reception of just such dis
patches.
