friend to-day, our breach is wider
than ever before.
The public has been for some time
past ipdulgipg 10 the fond hope that
the breach formed by that class of
our citizens known here as the In.
dependent party, or as you term
them the ''so1e heads" was to be
finally and fully closed, and that a
gene, al reconciliation was to- be &C
complished. Our best citizens lrad
educated themselves to the point of
looking over the "indiscretion" of the
leading citizens who were nominated
by the radical negro convention for
police Jurors, and we're prepared to
accept the situation, aud credit to
them pure motives that prompted
their actions.
