Republicans in the dilemma that they

their good health, to think that tho e

correct an error they have fallen into.
Who is there to-day, let him be Repub.
lican or Democrat, that will have the
hardihood to get up and say that in the
abolition of slavery the Republican
party did not do great and noble
work. Who is there that can say a
