appears to have souredl on the Adj
ministration to which she gave BIRTH

whether her tendency is. to- enroll
herself in, the stalwart, wing Of the
Republican; party, after the fashion
of Bill Chandler, to rise TO the more
exalted, plane Of independently by The,
side Of General Butler, or to perma;.
