publicans that since the doctrines Of the
party have been accepted by the whole
people, they should be commended by
the integrity and sincerity Of the agents
selected to give effect to these doctrines.
We trust that from this test ard exposi-
ton of party professions on both sides it
may result that the mob may be disband-
ed on the one side, and the United States
troops no longer necessary on the other.
With such consequence the revolution
of the Office hunters may have proved 9
valuable test of principles, and the bash
of more harmonious action in future.
