little if any foundation, and the fact
that they gained credence nt all only
shows how much the !aith of the public

In reality, the President has been
more comfortable today than at any

which he lost on Saturday. The taking
out of the splluterS Of bone from the

the opinions OF those who may live to the

Rnt are we doing the northern people
Justice in making such sweeping assertions
about their injustice to US? Perhaps 1t
woud be useless TO expect the professional
poIticians of the Republican party to do
otherwise in The future than they have IN
the mast: but am far from believing that
the true men OF the North OF all parties fail
to approye our course in this debt matter.
1t is not fair to say that partisan press re-
fleets the sentiments OF the northern pe0-
pie. or majority OF them.
Suppnse we let the debt 60. Will it not
be to yield our underground before The

enemies want us to do! Who would be

Would they not rcdouble it, and this time
