devotion would be better heritage to my

OF Impotence and irritation in Administra-

the State should be sustained, but are will

pressure Of public opinion demands.

cornize him. All that he wishes is that the
troops be withdrawn from the State in order
that the will OF the people may be carried
out, and that peaceably.
