confidently expect all the fuss, all the

ceeded the election of last fall; and all
the heart. burnings and disappointments
that followed il. These poor dlsappOin-

be right about it, but still the Republi.

Of the capitatiUn tax Qualification. He
declared himself opposed to the re-
peal and if his party were not, he did
not know 1t. 1t is one Of the worst
features OF the party, and the people
will yet understand the Infamous
scheme conducted BY the MahOneites
to put themselves in office. Repeal

result will be that the farmers Of the
